I just got into park skiing this year and learned most of the basics, looking into buying a fairly decent pair of park skis next year. I am around 5'10 weighing 145 pounds and most hit some smaller jibs and jumps, nothing very large. I want a pretty playful ski, something not too stiff. ANy suggestions?

Do you do 50% jumps, 50% rails? or?

Nope.  Drawing a blank.

for the record I have been riding a really beat pair of 4frnt stl's (identical to these, except mine are actually a 167 in length) https://www.newschoolers.com/ns/forums/readthread/thread_id/596897/

T-halls, Line traveling circus(anthem), atomic punx. All light, fairly soft park skis that would be great for rails.

k2 domains. they're really soft and buttery which make them really playful and the jib rocker makes rails super easy. definitely look into these, they're an awesome ski!

Line traveling circus or Armada Halo. Both are incredibly nimble and buttery.
