The Line Afterbang is symmetrical so a bit harder on the groomer and the occasional powder, albeit a bit heavy and has some minor durability issues.

The K2 Press I know pretty much nothing about apart from that it has a cap construction.

The Candide Yards, I only hear good things about them, they are supposedly light, durable and will shred both the park and the rest of the mountain.

The afterbangs have good flex my friend had them last year, but like lawerence said they are heavy. My friend also said that they arent very durable he had to buy new skis this year because they are beat up.

The K2 press has a wood core, it has a jib rocker which is K2's park series, but im not a fan of cap construction for a park ski becsue after you get a chip in it the water from the snow will seep in and make it heavy.

I know nothing about the coreupt candide yards

i really liked my afterbangs. they're poppy and that makes up for the extra weight. the only issue i had was how they ship abit and they give you splinters
