I know this question is asked everyday and is probably getting old...

But anyways, i'm currently riding are two year old head caddys (best skis my shop had at the time) and they are pretty sick, yet are getting tiny as I have grown a bunch since last year. They are bomb proof so far and I love that. I would really like a ski that is buttery, light, durable, and has wicked pop. I spend most of my time in the park. and id say i ride 60% rails 40% jumps.

So what ski would be good for me? Size?

Can't really tell you what size you need without knowing your height.

Atomic Infamous, Atomic Punx, K2 Domain(if you don't mind that it's not the best on jumps), Armada T-hall, Armada Al Dente

This years atomic punx are pretty stuff.. Atomic infamous, on3p filthy rich, line Chronic, and armada thalls would work well. Those are just off the top of my head

Then probably about 166. Unless you like your skis a little bit shorter

Id probably go 164. Was looking at the punx, but is the infamous better? Also how are the armada halo 2 VS thalls? Halo 2s look ill but I have never skied a fatter ski

Infamous is more playful and slightly softer. Both skis are pretty dope.

If I were you I think I'd go with the infamous or halo 2 since you're hitting more rails than jumps. The halo will be the most playful of the three I would think because of the higher amount of rocker. Also it is wider so it will handle all mountain better. You'd have to find someone who actually skis these skis because I don't know much more than that. Plus I could be dead wrong on the flex of these skis

Does anyone now what the durability is between the halo 2 and the infamous? I have noticed the infamous is a lot cheaper. Also the infamous is a more narrow ski and the halo 2 is more wide. I have never skied a more fat ski so should this change my final decision?

The punx is a stiff ski. Not buttery
