just a warning this probably not worth your time.

 I have skiied my 2008-2009 public enemies pretty hard and the edges are raggedy. The bases are only a little scratched but Is it worth getting a new park ski. The swing weight is not that good but carves aight. I have never skied anything softer then this. Now I am moving strictly towards park cuz I am tired of sucking at it. I want a pure park ski that jibs and does not need to carve that well. Ill mostly being skiing sierra slush and ice. I have posted threads in the past and searched a couple nothing really helped just made me more confused. I would call myself a somewhat beginner to park. I can hit some rails and do 3's on 20-25 footers . Is it worthing busting my bank account to get a new pair of skis or shud I rock my old PE's

Thank you for those who read the whole piece of shit

There's been a ton of advancements in ski technology since the PEs, and there are certainly better skis for park. If you can afford to get new skis, I'd say go for it (especially since if you're really looking to move to basically 100% park and your current skis are already beat they probably won't last long).

anothers. I was thinking of the chronics, nordica badminds, ar 7's, al dentes, scott jib tw, for a pure park. I want something that is playfull but holds a decent edge is capable of shredding groomers. basically dont want something I have to man handle

specifically why the Ar7- I know a lot of people ride it but I also heard its decently stiff. does that make it less playful?...
