 alright Im thinking of getting new park skis, something really light and flexible (buttery) with no larger than a 85mm underfoot. keep it below 375$. Im 5'11" and 140 lbs so i need a ski around 175-180.

With that in mind what ski would you choose?

Yeah Head makes some nice skis. My friend has those and he loves them^^. Also, I've heard the Surface No Times are really good. They're soft and skinny which is what you are looking for. The only thing is they are $400 instead of under $375.

One thing you should know is that Masterminds have an extruded base. This means that the bases will be slow and they don't hold wax well.

Agreed.  I love my antics.  I bought a pair last year and decided to pull the trigger and buy a pair of this years too.

the k2 press wouldnt be a bad choice for you. We are the same height and weigh about the same and I can personally say i love these skis. Super durable, really buttery and sick for rails and boxes. Hope that helped
