So I'm in the market for some new skis and have decided I want to try out a pair that is rockered. I've heard the transition isn't too bad but want some advice on the pair that best fits me. I'm 6ft and want a ski that's no shorter then 181, price ranging up to $550. Any ideas?

This is kind of important. For park skis, I would recommend -K2 Domain or Maiden in 179 (it measures to around 181, and others will back this up)
-ON3P Filthy Rich. Don't know a ton about them but people seem to like them
-Line Chronic 2013. Now with a small amount of rocker, seems to be really similar to the K2 Maiden. The Blend is also a possibility. There are a few people who slay those in the park.
Those are a couple that I know about from personal experience or multiple good review from others. The Rossis someone recommended seem good as well.

Just remember that rocker skis short because it cuts down on your effective edge. If you're thinking of 181 based on normal camber skis, start thinking longer. Hope this helps.

You sound like youd like the Line Blend 183...theres some last years still on sale for 100 less than your price max.

Its 100mm waist rcker/camber/rcker so it will be a little wide for park but still fine. The width will help you out when your skiing freshhhies.
