So im on a tight budget, but trying to get the best ski for my money. Im 6'2" and ride park 90% of the time. Im ALL about the rails, so I want a ski that can really hold up, but that can also stomp jumps without me washing out easily.....PLEASE HELP

k+ for solid feed back

where do you ride? both are directional, so you wouldn't center mount, and one is 5 mm wider than the other

I ride in VT (Sugar bush) and my only option would be to center mount them..im used to silencers that have been center mounted, so I'm not to concerned about that. More concerned about the stiffness and how they're going to hold up.

I ride recoils...never rode the sight before but from reading product descriptions seems you want Recoil. Neither skis are symmetrical and I would consider both an all mtn/park ski.

Recoils have help up for me at speed and have a snappy flex. From my previous experience with K2 they are all bombproof but you pay the price in weight (also have px 18s on them not a light binder).

Recoils haven't been my favorite ski, but they get the job done every time.
