Ok NS sorry to make yet another annoying thread about skis but I need your help. Cant decide what skis to choose cause there are so many good options out there. I'm 5'11" 140 lbs and am looking for a pure park ski that has durability. I would say i spend equally as much time on rails as I do on jumps. Post away!!

182 Atomic Punx. I am pretty much your exact size and couldn't be happier. They are insanely durable. I broke a pair of 4FRNTs in 32 ski days early season, and have about 40 on the punx and there is no sign of anything starting to happen.

line chronics they hold up really well on rails and are stiff enough to still hit jumps on em.

178 Liberty LTE

Super sick ski that is light, poppy and super durable. They have a bamboo poplar core that gives the ski so muck life and makes it responsive. The Bamboo also makes it a very light ski with very low swing weight. The edges on these skis are very different than other brands since the edges are more attached to the ski, and the metal used for the edges doesnt get hot as other do, because the edges get hot when sliding on a rail and one you come off the rail the hot metal comes in contact with the snow making the metal cool super fast which makes the weak and in the end have edge cracks. This is why liberty made their edges with softer metal so it wouldn't get as hot. So these skis are fucking awesome from rails to jumps since they are soft in the tips and tails but stiff underfoot to stop big ass jumps.

You definitely need the afterbangs man.

They last forever, are great and grippy on rails, have a ton of pop and are super fun and soft.

They handle fine on jumps and the only problem i've had is getting enough speed. Problem fixed with some good graphite wax and a little bit of care.

Check out K2's line for next year. The domain or revival, whichever one replaced the disorderly would be a great park ski. The other one has the same shape, just directional. I can't wait for people to start riding them so we can get reviews. Too bad it's may.

Ridiculous

LTE for sure. They are equally great on rails and jumps. So playful and poppy. Best customer service. You just can't go wrong with this ski in the park. It's super fun on groomers too. Rides switch effortlessly. They have so much energy and feel, like they are an extension of your feet. Can't say enough about my LTEs.
