I'm really looking at the Blue Steeles but want to know if there would be any other solid options.
I'm 5'6, 130 lbs, and have a really playful park style. Lots of nollies, butters, presses, jibby stuff like that.
But i also like jumps and want something to be able to stomp landings on big spins and flips. I'm an aggressive skier as well.
What would my options be?

**I forgot to include these skis would be used for 100% park, so all mountain performance doesn't matter

i have blue steeles i can tell you you will love them.. the rocker is really fun they are poppy..stable at high speeds. best skis i ever rode. they chip easily but i guess all skis do these days.

Blue Steele's are a lot of fun and my current park ski, but for some other similar options I would look at:

-Armada Pipecleaner (love this one)
-Armada AR7
-ON3P Jeronimo is a great ski, but definitely not nearly as playful unless you got a special soft version
-4FRNT TNK (but will they last?  It's a coin toss)
-Salomon Suspect, but again I can't speak for durability

right hurr...

blue steeles are playful in the tips and tails, but stiff as hell underfoot, super light, fast base, super thick edges, low swing weight...

all in all such a great ski. stomps jumps and butters great.
