Alright, so I work at this crappy little hill in MA they call Jiminy Peak. I know there are plenty of what ski posts out there, but I need a narrower scope of opinions based on the mountain that I frequent. I need a ski that rides really good switch, preferably symmetrical. Medium flex and a moderately wide waist b/c the groomers are far from perfect. It needs to have a really tough topsheet, little kids are always running over them n shit. The only thing I have in mind right now are the line anthems, they're cheap and pretty close to what I'm looking for.

anthem...

or kung fujas or some kind of k2 just because you want something durable and k2 is most durable hands down. and don't worry too much about symmetrical skis it's not a big difference any park ski is fine switch.

Anthems will probably be best, or Lizzies. Line makes some of the most buttery Wide skis around and they're really durable.

these atomic urban punx com in i think 164, 166, 173, 175 they are symmetrical and very buttery.  Plus they have reinforced double edges,  ideal for jibs man.   The're made for punishment.  i was going to get them but the're a lil too soft for me.  reviews said the're not so good on the jumps
