Make sure you get some stable skis. They should be some bombproof skis, but trust me when I say, you'll want a ski that can carve and hold a nice edge. Park is fun, but can be frustrating when you first start, so sometimes you'll get there and just not really feel like doing park, and you'll just want to cruise.

Armada el rey. This is a good ski I'd recommend. Full Traditional camber though. good all around park ski. With your experience in skiing I wouldn't go to a super beginner ski. This would suit you well unless your going bigger than 30ft+ jumps. Mount at -2.5 and your golden  Pretty cheap on one of my favorite sites too right now for a brand new last years ski.
