Alright so first off i'm making this for a buddy. He doesnt have a ns account so yeah. He's 5'6 and 130lbs. He's pretty much a beginner in the park. Only his 2nd season doing it. Which of these skis are lighter, more durable, and more playful? Thanks in advance for any responses.

Storms are going to be a more durable and high quality ski, and are also good skis for big jumps, whereas the presses are a pricepoint ski and are (apparently) fun for rails and small jumps, but do not hold up well on large jumps.

Forgot to add that the storms are playful and fun on rails, I ski the storms but have not rode presses.

Are the storms lighter? Or are they on the heavier side?

Presses are super light with low swing weight, and as said above, dont hold up on any big jump, but very fin to have fun and jib around the mountain

Like everyone else looking for skis my friend is undecided and now wants to add the line afterbang to list. Also note he's newer to the park so he doesn't ski to hard.

I personally wouldn't go with the afterbangs, from experience the presses will probably hold up longer

I have the rossi storms. they are as light as the atomic punx. They have a low swingweight and are super playful, but due to their 92mm waist they handle jumps like a champ.
