Im looking for new skis for this season. I live in Michigan and ski pretty much all park. I ski 60% rails and 40% jumps. Price range is around 500. Im not looking for anything too stiff, I want a fun ski. The jumps out here are pretty small. Here are the skis im looking at. Ledges, halos, domains, or punx. K+ for any helpful comments or advice!

What about some K2 Domains? I don't know about the prices in the States but here in Europe they go around for €350 with griffons or rossi 12's that's around $480.

German combopackages are fucking awsome, Domains without bindings go for like $499 but combo Domains + m10.0 for $370 and you can just order them unmounted.... same with griffons and rossi's and a shitload of other bindings
German shops are soo legit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah your probably right, i was just more mad that the durability was so bad. 2 months of skiing (about 40 days) and I had 3 edge cracks.
