Hey guys, i have been ridding my after bangs which i hate with all of my heart so i have decided to get a new pair of skis. I usually just take laps in the park so anything that will hit jumps and rails pretty well.

so i have been looking at the 4frnt switchblades, on3p filthy rich, the amplid antidogma, and the coreupt lunatics so as i said i just take laps in in the park so which one would you recommend for me and any other suggesting would be great thanks.

I was skiing the Line invaders up until this year. I sold them in search of something that I can ski trees, moguls, powder (when we can get it at Tremblant), and as you put it still take laps in the park. I used to be a pure park skier but as I get older I seem to like the rest of the hill just as much,

This being said after a lot of research, I selected the Rossi S3 Freeride to be my new pair, I haven't ridden them yet, but I will this weekend on Tremblant opening day,

If you are looking to ski more than just park then do not go with symmetrical ski,

like soft skis? domains, punx, filthy rich, t-halls
like stiff skis? walls, step-ups, ar7, recoils

and there are plenty of other good skis, it all depends on what you prefer.
