Domains or Punx...Domains being the first choice. An awesome all around ski that's durable and fun and skis well, I'm not disappointed with mine at all.

do they need it to be good in pipe? can you even get out of a pipe? no rails, only boxes, 3's on jumps, sounds like you dont need a pipe ski.

I have the revivals, which is basically a domain with a wider nose, and i have had ridden them for 15 days. My base and edge are delamming on one side of the tail. they are fun skis though. I would say punx, because i have had no issues with atomic skis breaking, and i am super hard on skis.

like said before stay away from solomon not very durable and i would stay away from a bangs to chip easy and get water logged and get even heavier. as for a park ski i would say armada t hall it is very poppy and playfull in the tip and tail but stiff enough to slay x games jumps with ease. and as for a pipe ski i would say armada pipe cleaner great flex pattern allows you to boost so high out of the pipe and they have race bases so they are super fast and if you want to cruise groomer with them it is crazy fun. ar50 sidewall will hold up on icey pipe walls and allow you to skill have edge even on those nasty east cost pipes. my two cents a little biased towards armada but they are great skis.

get a ski that is good to progress on ie a soft ski made to be light and learn new tricks on, s1, abang, el ray, mastermind, or something like that

All edges will get rounded eventually, its just what happens when you are constantly sliding on hard metal/ concrete.
