K2 press is a beginners ski while the alpha is a more upper level type ski. If its one og the 2 i would get the alpha becouse uts armada and you most likely won't be disappointed. The alpha will also Handel pow better cause of the rocker.

k2 jib rocker is crap, their main park skis have no camber, the only k2 park ski that still has camber is the silencer, from your choices i would get the alpha, because armada skis have amazing pop, durability, they are lightweight, and have equal swing weight.

for an intermediate park ski look into liberty lte, silencer, and thall
