Atomic Panics

So after breaking 2 pairs of Jmos last year I've been looking for a new ski. I know the panics and jmos are nothing alike. The only reason I'm not looking at something similar to the jmo is because I found panics for a really good deal. I ride pretty much strictly park, and I haven't had a ski with under a 95mm waist in 4-5 years. I'm 6'4 and 190 pounds. A few questions for anybody that's ridden Panics before: Durability? How are they in the park? Will these skis be good for me? Or is there anything similar out there that's better for around the same price? +k for any help

It is my understanding that the panics are the introductory park ski for Atomic. While Atomic has a great reputation and the skis will surely ride well, you'll be better off going for Punx or perhaps the new Infamous, both of which surely have incredible durability.

The panic is not a park ski. It's a recreational all mtn ski a lot like the salomon lord. If your just beginning in the park they will be ok but if you just ride the park all the time don't get them, they just are not built for that at all.

What are you after? A pure park ski or a park/all mtn ski? And what level are you how old are you an how much have you skied and where do you normally ski.
