I have never been good at keeping up ski reviews so Im wondering if NS could help me out

I am 175 lbs

Pretty aggressive skier mainly ski park
Would say I spend more time on rails than jumps
I want to spend between 400-500

Atomic Punx destroy the park. They are super light, really poppy/snappy, and jib perfect. The only downfall is that since they are so buttery, landing on jumps doesn't feel solid all the time, although it in no way feels sketchy.

AR7's are a really solid ski. Good for both jumps and rail and very durable. Also pretty flexy. Being the same parent company, armada and atomic have very similar qualities in skis. I'd say either the ar7's or the puns are worth a look. If u are interested, u could look into some ON3P skis. Rad some reviews (I have never owned any) to help u on the ON3P skis. Hope this helps!

Atomic is a parent company of Armada. Atomic makes Armada skis. If you ever look at 2 similar skis of the two companies (ie the bent chetlers and jjs) they are built almost the exact same.

Check out the Liberty LTE's in 178.
Super light thanks to the bamboo core, and poppy cause they put a lot of fibers in it so it would be a lively ski!
