Hello I am 14 years old and like to roam the mountain but mostly in the park. I was looking for a ski under 400 dollars that would be good for this... thanks.

Be little more specific like camber type ski, or soft or stiff flex

The K2 Press or Line Afterbang would be good for you. Also Salomon 2012's if you can find a deal.

El reys are the best price point ski on the entire market, I have no idea how many people I put on el reys and cantikas that come back stoked on their skis. U will not be disappointed

Definitely El Reys. But also Salomon Threats would be dope. Go on Evo or something and do a comparison. I had Threats and they were really fun skis, great for all mountain. If your really good in the park though they may not cut it

Its the el ray hands down none ofthe skis that have been mentioned have half the durabilty and quality that the el rays have. armada has some of the nicest skis on the market and even though the el ray is there price point ski its the only price point ski i have ever seen used in competition. definily the el ray it matches what you have described perfectly

I was also looking at the armada ar7's but those have a much higher price point. I will consider the El Reys
