What park skis should I get?

I'm looking for a buttery twin tip ski that will perform well on rails and jumps and last me a couple seasons. Suggestions are welcome, even better if you've ridden the ski. I've had T-Halls suggested, AR6's, Invaders also.
Help me out!

I'm planning on getting the Liberty LTE's, I ride about 90% park. You should look into them.

this is why the line afterbang was invented....
i just ordered them and they should be good
order them from Al's ski shop and use the coupon code LINE, if you do you get wild stallions dvd and a free i am a skiier tee shirt

i would look into coreupt, i have some dynastars from a few years ago that have held up so well and are a lot of fun. right now im on some k2 disorderlys and they are pretty good. not too buttery but i only weigh 140. only problem is that the topsheets chip easily but thats not a big deal. and as posted above, invaders or anthems would fit your description well but i have not tried them.

Thanks for the suggestions! Keep them coming! I felt the afterbangs in the store and I liked the flex of anthems much better. Honestly I don't care for the graphic on them either haha. my only concern about invaders is I've seen my friend wear out in one season and I hear that happens a lot, I'm also looking for something a bit wider underfoot

Don't the LTE's not have much flex though? Or am I mistaken.

ar6s, thalls, or LTEs. im in school and dont have a lot of time to explain why so i will when i get home or just pm me. these three skis are the 3 of the best on the market and one will fit you perfectly depending on your personal preferance

LTE was softened on tip and tail and a stiffened under foot. They are perfect... imo

AR6, tried it out at a demo last year. had lots of pop and the bases hold up really well. good for butters as well.

Thanks for the replies guys. I know its random but I decided to pick up some Icelantic Da Nollies. I went into our local shop and they were too sick to pass up.

if you want it buttery and wicked on jumps then the anthems will be so dope for you, not sure about rails but they have a nice waist so you wont miss a thang on anything, itll keep you stable on rails, and nice and buttery, dunno how the side walls will hold up, my chronics fell apart but ive heard many good things about the anthems

hope it helps
