Alright I dont want to spend a ton of money on skis for next year, but I also dont want to buy crap, like what i have now (volkl alley). Im thinking around $300-350 is my budget or maybe more if i need to. I like afterbangs and masterminds, but i also want some more suggestions. I dont hit very big jumps, so I dont need anything to stiff, just something to hit small jumps and rails on. I ride 158 this year, but I'll probably go a little longer for next year. Thanks, +k for your help!

I would recommend you go to gear talk for the most feedback

dont get abangs. just dont. they are soo just bad. Really heavy. The skate board construction just doesnt make sense to me and when i skied them for a day. it was terrible. They dont feel right on rails to me. just my 2 cents

hes just giving his point of view, and tbh i kinda agree with it lol..

to OP, gear talk would be your best bet. There are lots of threads like this so if you look around I'm sure you'd find some skis to your liking.

thsi and i agree too. had em for 2 seasons was like oh these arent that bad... skied on this years K2 domain. and man it made a world of a difference. i feel like i can... ski an actual trail again. and jumps r so much niceer and even rails.... only thing i say a bangs r good for are urban cause they're bomb proof

Well, like everyone said your best bet will be in gear talk. BUt out of your two choices I would get masterminds. If you are open to something new the Majesty Rock n Rollas would be an excellent choice. I can also hook you up with a code for those if you want a better price.
