Ok so I want a good durable park ski for next year that will last and not get edge cracks so easily like some skis! I'm 5'10 weigh like 150-155 I live on the east coast I would say 90% rails 10% jumps My price range is like 550 just for the ski Options so far are next years line chronics, and I'm really interested in nordica OMW, and I'm open for any options! I don't care If it is rockered or full camber and I have domains now and I don't like how there so noodley so flex would be medium- medium stiff but not to stiff.. +k for help

I've had pretty good luck with Armadas. This year I've been rocking the Pipe Cleaner in the park and somehow have yet to get any edge cracks. Although I have been really good about maintaining them and deburring the edges after every few days of park skiing. I love how fast the race bases are and they are a somewhat stiffer flex. If you're looking for something a little softer and more forgiving I would check out the T-Hall Pros.

The line chronically are definitely a sick ski. Also the new afterbangs for next year seem really sick. You should also check out the new armada aldentes for next year. They're probably to noodly for you but I'm very curious about them, they seem super sick.
