What is a good freestyle ski?

I wish they made them in a 183 I would use them for my everyday park ski.  IMO you need something with a tad of rocker to ski through mash potatoes better.  Depends where you're skiing.  I think if you're skiing summit county you probably wouldn't like them because the snow can get bullet proof and you want a really solid edge.  If you're skiing tahoe or mammoth (warmer snow conditions) they probably excel really well.

incredible pop, good on rails, and pretty light.

first they came unrockered, and then i hit a rail and the tail torqued, and soon after the began to delam.

what? other than the fact that they've lost their rocker on one of the tails they've held up real good? I would say thats kind of a deal breaker in terms of durability.
