I dont think either of those is a very good jump ski bud, more jib ski. If you want jumps go with ar7's or thalls. a stiffer ski.

i wouldn't say the punx are not good on jumps, if people are stomping triples on them they arent that bad

When you get down to it, the weight difference between those two skis is going to be so minimal that you will not notice it all. Ski weight is not that important, so don't worry about it too much. Nothing wrong with picking a light park ski, but there is no need to nitpick between two skis over which is lighter when they are both very similar in weight. I would focus more on the differences in design between those two skis. Do you want a traditional, cambered ski (Punx) or a 5-dimensional, rockered ski (halos).

Theyre both really sick skis! ahh this is so hard but im not sure if i want rockered. but then i do because it would be fun and playful on the rails still and butters. Are the halos good on jumps? My main concern is which would be better for jumps.

weight of park skis does not matter

halos are a lot less durable then punx

Punx will probably be more stable for jumps, seeing as they have traditional camber, (more stable at speed and more edge control on landings = less washing out), but having said that, what size jumps are you hitting? If you are hitting jumps less than 30 or 40 ft the difference in stability wouldn't be that noticable. (I would think)

Get halos.... Swing weight is unmatched and they actually handle jumps pretty well. Hear good things about the punx though.
