Hey guys,

I recently broke my volkl walls underfoot and am in the market for a new, park only ski. i have ON3P Jeronimos, so i will be skiing those until i decide on my park ski. So far i have been looking at:

on3p filthy rich
k2 recoil

i am 6 foot 2" and am 160 pounds. I live on the east coast and ski 60 percent rails 40 percent jumps. Would really like to get ski with early rise/rocker in the tips and tails.

spark notes:
-medium stiff park specific ski w/ rocker.

Suggest away!

Thanks in advance.

Alpha 1's sound like they'd be great... oh and if your not 100% on rockered then look at t-halls

I think this year's chronics have early rise, so do this year's double times, definitely check those two out. The Double time would be the stiffer of the two.

Check out the Liberty Antigen, I haven't heard much about this new ski but it meets the specifications you listed with a banging price. It's also symmetrical which is optimal on rails.

can anyone tell me if the edges are as thick as the jeronimo on the FR's? My jmos edges are wicked thick and are awesome for park, so im assuming the thick edges also come on the FR's?
