K2 Revival vs. Elan Puzzle

I've recently been looking at these two skis and liked the sound of both of them. I noticed that they both have jib rocker and are flat underfoot. I spend almost all my time in the park. Which is lighter, and which has better durability? Any other insight on how well these skis perform compared to each other in the park would be great. Thanks.

K2s would last longer but are allittle heavier. And the puzzle is super poppy and light but the edges com out at the tip and tail.

If I were you I would get the k2s I haven't heard a good thing about elan's freeski skis ... Apparently they make good ski jump ski but that's not really our scene, I'm guessing ... I think although the k2s will feel heavier but they'll last you longer, perform better and overall you'll be happier

I'm guessing that you don't speak from experience with Elan.

Just because Elan is big in freestyle skiing doesn't mean their skis aren't good. Elan makes baller skis. I have been eyeing the puzzle for a while and am considering it for my next park ski. I've never tried them, but I had mo2's back in the day and they were the shit.

no I speak from seeing a large amount of threads talking about people having major issues with elan, for every good thing said about elan skis I usually see about 5-10 bad things. So no you are right I dont speak from experience, but I still wouldnt trust them.

the puzzles ride AMAZING!!! They just leave a little to be desired in terms of durability. Elans warranty is pretty bomber tho.

The puzzle has the same rocker (left to right) as the Bateleon snowboards, right? I'm sure that would influence your decision heavily.
