Hello. I am an beginner/intermadiate skier that skis everything. But, what I'm looking for in this future pair of skis is a ski that performes well in the park, on rails and on jumps. I am 19, 6'2, 190 pounds and my budget is no more than $500 including bindings.

I've been currently looking at the following skies:
Line Mastermind 11/12
CoreUpt Yard 11/12
K2 Sight 11/12
Line Stepup 11/12
K2 Domain 11/12
4FRNT Click 11/12
Line Afterbang 11/12

Can't quite decide so I need your help. Bindings I'm getting are the Marker Griffon 13. These skis are all under $500 from a local shop, I'm not planning on shipping from outside of Norway.

Thanks so much.

I vote for the Domain or Click!. The click will be a tad softer and better for all mountain, and the Domain is a ski that stomps landings, butters like butter, and is quite bombproof. It is not as good for all mtn, but will still rip down to the park

So the Domain's are durable? Hmm... Nice. I'm thinking that the 4FRNT Click's might be to wide for me, but not sure. I'm not really keen on the K2 Sight and I think that the Click's might be a little similar to them, or?

I have Punx but I differ that they rip all mountain. I have them, but they're not very good for carving, which I think is very important. Also they're really skinny. Just my $0.02
