Ok, first off, i'm thinking to buy skis for next year, i'm 14, 5'1 and i weigh about 100-105 lbs but keep in mind it's for next season and i'll grow and gain weight etc...

I'm an intermediate-advanced skier but i'll admit i'm not an extreme jib ninja.

I'm looking for poppy skis that are good for skiing switch, being light would be an advantage and have to be really good on rails with a price range of about $350 more or less.

I've been looking at line, atomic, salomon, amplid, rossi's, armada and k2 cuz i've heard good things about them but i've been wondering about if i should buy skis now and get them cheap and get good bindings cuz i tend to destroy them or wait to buy next years models?

Any suggestions?

get the atomic punx! they are a poppy, light wieght ski which is awesome for riding switch on! get one of the smaller sizes and you will be fine! there are other skis out the like the afterbangs and stuff however, they arent as good for just skiing around on. the punx you can take anywhere and have heaps of fun on.

Hope this helps

If you look at the top of this thread I have a post asking almost this iddentical anwser! ($350 or less park skis). Its named Low Price effective Park skis or something. You can look at peoples anwsers there. A lot of guys are telling me to get BlueHouse Antics which are really good park skis for a low low cost ($200).

Take a look at the armada El rey. Next years graphic for it looks awesome but there not changing any of the technology going into the ski so personally id pick up a pair of this years for real cheep. could prob find them some where for under 250. then go out and grab some really nice bindings such as like a px12 for around 150-200. Also look at the K2 domain (really durable). Amplid Provoke (brand new ski, amplids have had some durability questions). All three of these companies are very helpful as far as warranty if there was anything to go wrong with your skis.
