ON3P Blue Steeles perhaps?
181? PM iggyskier... ON3p makes super high quality skis, and is a great small, core, company. Definitely check them out. They seem to fit what you want.

it just seems that eveyone in the world gravitates towards line... theyre a cool company, but i would really enjoy helping a smaller company out...

Yea i saw those skis... But are they really any good for park?

liberty lte, not exactly the smallest company, but probably one of the dopest. bamboo with carbon fiber stringers, high quality base, 3 year warranty. ski kills it.

after that i agree with the blue steele. i havent ridden any of the on3p stuff, but scott is an awesome guy and all the reviews coming out of the pacific northwest have looked awesome so far

The Green Life and Watch life will absolutely kill it in the park as well as everywhere else on the mountain. They are going to be really stable on any size jump as well as rails. The new shape this year is dope not to big to be cumbersome on rails but still gives you enough ski to ride everywhere else on the mountain as well as the park. Definitely a ski worth serious consideration.
