I was wondering if anybody could tell me a good pair of park skis that are pretty cheap.
I have just started the park but i dont have twin tips so i guess beginner to indermediate level skis.
Thanks.

In another thread you suggested someone Line Afterbangs. Why wouldn't you get those?

if you want skis for very cheap, you could go with the volkl alley or the k2 press, if you want to get a little more expensive, you could go with line afterbangs or armada ar7. All of these are relatively begginners skis,  i would say the line afterbangs are the most advanced and i would have to ask, what kind of skis do you line? stiff or soft? what do you want to use them for?

yeah forgot about the mastermind thats a good beginner ski. how are the ledges? i heard people say that they would have rather put in the extra cash for the wall. how do you like em?

my friends younger brother has them, says they are a great ski. the wall is worth it imo, but if you are a beginer in the park you typically would like a softer ski (ledge softer then the wall.) the ski rips all mountain and also is good in the park aswell.

K2 silencers there perfect for begginers in my view

i really dont like the k2 silencers, they are fair for powder but even at that they, arent the best at anything and i really dont feel they belong in the park, they feel more like a sub-par pow ski to me but i mean, opinions will be opinions

i think on levelninesports they have 08/09 liberty phil laroses. i rock these still and im a beginner i beat these to hell and no edge cracks. the bamboo makes them have a lower swing weight, makes them more responsive, and durable. they are super playful yet stable

you could also try to find a pair of k2 extremes. I still have a pair of the 169 size of them. they are very fun, stable, and cheap, like 500$ for the skis and they come with schizo bindings so they are pretty good, stiff though if you like that
