So I'm new to park skiing and I was wondering what type of skiis should I get for begginers. Im not new to the ski scence, just park. Ive skiied most of the mountains in the east and park sparked a sudden interest in me.

If you're looking for an all mountain ski that performs well in the park I'd suggest the Line Anthems. I ride them, and they haven't done me wrong in the 3+ seasons if rode with them. Plus, if they delam, Line has a good policy, where they'll replace or fix your skis at no cost. If your looking for a straight park ski, the Line Invaders are good, but i found them to be way too flexy for me. Also, just look around at Armada's, Solomons. Just go to a local ski shop and ask them whats up. Just my .02

Don't buy new Salomon Suspects. They're horrible for durability. Mine are beat to hell after only a few days.

see im new to park too im 6'2' 155 and i ride liberty phil larose pros in a 178 in which are stable and forgiving for me and you can find them at a pretty good price at levelninesports.com (sorry i cant embed),  but im not sure if they would fit you if you are like 5'5 then that would be totally off, but if you are 5'8"-6'2" then these would be great for you
