I ski at perfect north slopes in southern indiana so my conditions will not be that great. I am around 5 foot 9 and I weigh about 140 pounds. I ski park 80% of the time but will sometimes ski the groomers. What ski would be the best for me? I was looking at atomic punx and ON3P filthy rich

Cant go wrong with either of those really. Filthy riches will be a bettet "investment" but those are both good pairs of skis.

FRs more durable/robust and where they are rockered butters will be easier at 140pounds

Pick up a pair of FRs once they go on sale. Don't think it's up. Might be though. Also, I like your icon.

FR's are great park skis, but if you ski groomers too go with the punx. Both are good, but if your not 100% park why get full park skis?

Yeah, the faction kennedy's look good, I was also looking at the faction wednesdays. Also, what do you think about the liberty LTE or antigen. The on3ps are a little to expensive for my budget

FR's have little camber, so on groomers they woun't be nearly as good as one with camber, but will be great in the park.

Work all summer and save money. Itnreally isn't that hard to afford skis. Or go for Kennedy's or Atomic Punx
