Alright so I might be getting new skis for next season. I'm 5'5 and weigh 120 lbs. I ski 70% park and 30% tree skiing. I also live in the midwest ( wisconsin). I would like a ski that's not to heavy and has a bit of pop to it. Something durable for the tree skiing would be nice. Also i'm somewhat new to the park if that helps. Thanks in advance for any help you give.

get line masterminds or k2 press, they are both beginner park skis, people say that the press is more durable, they aren't fully symmetric so you can take them out of the park

Oh i'll add that in. I had a demo day at my local mountain this past season and tested numerous skis and I seem to like riding fully symettrical skis better.

Being from the midwest too (MN) I have the same conditions. I also wanted a light poppy ski that would hold up good in the park. After A TON of research I finally decided on Armada El Reys. Fantastic brand, strong edges, light and poppy! I love em.  I would recomend them!

Yeah i demoed them and they rode wonderfully in the park. I was also thinking about the icelantic da'nollies. Anyone know anything about them?

I would steer clear of masterminds OP, they are the classic example of cheap/light/durable, pick 2

How will the atomic punx be? I know they are light weight and poppy from demoing last years. I also heard they are getting more durable this year with thicker edges. Would they be a good pick?

No one has thrown AR7's out there... not the lightest skis, but durable.... and from my experience not to bad in the trees. Lots of options though.
