bro.
the el reys should be out the question.  they are a price point ski.
take a look at the AR6.  much better quality than the el rey.  it will probably hold up alot better.

^He is right.  For park skis, look at AR6s, PCs, Thalls, Alpha 1s and 2s(if you didn't know, the difference between 1 and 2 is like PC to AR6).  If you want a ski that kills all mountain and work fairly well in pow, yet still kills it in park get ARVs for sure.  So fun(sorry to give you more expensive ideas than El Reys though).
