Hey guys! i have started skiing this season and i feel i have progressed a lot so i am wanting to buy my first pair. (by the way i am from Australia so it is winter now!) i am loving park and i want to get skis that will love park aswell but also be good all mountain.

i am 5'5" 114 lbs but still growing.
i have been looking at the volkl walls, line afterbangs and the k2 domains.

Could someone please help me out on which skis i should get! any suggestions are muchly appreciated!

well being a begginner park skiier, i would look at k2 press, and the k2 extremes, those are great to learn on and are very fun skis

there is a pretty solid price difference in the skis your looking at and how hey ski an afterbang is just all park and cheaper the k2s are decent everywhere and still cheap and then volkl walls are not cheap and rip, so its all in what you want i'd reccomend a k2 they make some soft playful skis and they dont break the bank

all of these skis will hold up on the rest of the mountain outside of the park, the k2 extreme is a real nice all mountain too
