I'm looking for park skis, mostly for jib. I'm 5.6 ft and i ski for about 2 and a half year. I'm looking for under 500$. I want some really fun skis that are durable and light. I look for Surface and line but alot says that they are not durable.

Thx for help

Atomic Punx are pretty awesome jibbing skis, from what i've heard, because they have a rather narrow waist. Still pretty stable on jumps tho.
I'm currently riding the afterbangs, and i think they are awesome! So much fun and so buttery. Perfect on jibs! And so far (been riding them about 6-8 weeks) there is nothing wrong with them. (Others do say that their durability kinda sucks, and that they break on the butter points)

Atomic punx sounds just like what you are looking for. They are light and buttery and mine held up fine for this season with slight chipping but thats to be expecting.
