Hi Im looking into buying some dope park skis.
Ive been ridding junior skis in the past and im just getting into adult skis. I weigh
150 pounds and about 5'8. What size?

And any good park skis I should know about? Im looking for a ski that is prime for
jibs and jumps but also can bust out some butters. Help me out!!

+k for anyone that helps me out

thanks!

I ski the east. Mount snow in particular so very icy and hard packed.

Line after bangs or the line chronic should work well with what you want to do

Go for the 171 ON3P filthy riches,

they are so good at destroying park and you will have fun else-where on the mountain too as the rocker at tip and tail allows for steezy butters but camber underfoot makes sure that they pop for days and due to bamboo construction,

they also have a superlight swing weight too along with basically bombproof bases.

Take a look at the Amplid Townships or the Amplid Provokes

I just got some Provokes but haven't ridden them. Really sweet ski though. Soft flex. One of my friends had a pair of Townships and also loved them. Skied really well. Durable too :)
