hey guys, im looking into a pair of park skis for this next year. i am gonna be hitting pretty much all jumps when i am in the park, and other than that probably some trees and groomers, i have kung fujas for the good stuff. i want a mid-stiff to stiff ski, because its for all jumps, but im open to suggestions on that too.

5'7"

140 lbs

type 3+

I was looking at the k2 recoil, line stepup, ar7.

Sounds like an Armada Pipe Cleaner guy. IF you're not into rails and like to ski out of the park mont them at -2 from center, Most fun, versatile park ski I've ever owned

Get the Volkl Wall. It is stiff. It rips all mountain but is made for hitting huge kickers like a dream. I ride it all over and it rides better than my old All mountain none twins. Durability. Lets just say I have 2010. Rode them hard every season. Minimal top sheet chipping and bases. damn they hold up and thats like 2 seasons of 8 hr park laps and all mountain for the 4 night. Yeah it rips. get it you wont regret. its their premier park and pipe and volkl makes some good strong shit. Great ski, great company, better deal.

Rossignol S4 is one of the best jumps skis out there, but if your liking the recoil it rips jumps aswell

Well you probs dont rip very hard then. I demod a pair and over the coarse of the day the edge separated while hitting a rail. There terrible. im sure some people dont have a problem with them but about 90% of people that skied them that ive talked to had a terrible experience with them and the warranty of Solomon. Id say get Armada Pipe Cleaners. They are one of my all time favs for hittin the big jumps. Nice stiff ski. Perfect for you OP

the armada pipe cleaners are a weak ski! they cant slay rails and keeps strong for a whole season! and you say 90% of people say they have had a bad experince on the suspects, are you going of what NS say cos 90% of those people have never riden them and are just reading off what other people have writen on NS who have also never riden them... look at other armada skis or the punx, they are both good skis and unlike most, i have riden them...
