Hey I am in the market for some new sticks but don't really know what would be best for me.  I live in Wisconsin and ski Tyrol Basin- so no pow or any big mountain.  All groomed/packed snow.  Looking for a solid park ski probably about 40% rails 60% jumps.  I'm not huckin triples but I am an intermediate-advanced skier.  I am about 5'10", 140lbs and 17 yrs old.  Any suggestions?  Thanks NS.

This years skis or do you not care? My choice would be to buy some of last years Walls or maybe K2 Disorderly. The Walls are a great ski; playful, poppy and ski switch better than anything I have ever been on. The Disorderly is a little softer, but is also a symmetrical park ski that I really enjoyed. It kills it on rails. If you want to spend some more money the Domain would be a good choice also. I have not skied them yet, but they are replacing the disorderly this year and some NSers are really hyped on them.

Yeah thanks man.  Idk about this years skis, forgot to mention I want to keep it under about 500 for skis and bindings so maybe more along the lines of 08/09 or 09/10. I'll look into those tho.

182 Atomic Punx. Their flex is so amazing, and will never wash out on you on jumps but they are soft enough to play with

^^Honestly I don't really care what kind of bindings, something durable 10-12 din, but it's not like i'm looking for specifics.

The Ninthward HH pro are actually wonderful to ski on! Really nice cut that makes them so nice to carve with and still good pop and all you want for a park ski.
