I am looking for a cheap park ski (300 and below) for an intermediate/advanced skier. I was looking at the Atomic Troopers but they are a beginners ski with slightly bad reviews. Any suggestions for a cheap park ski?

for under 300 you can get surface blanks, but im not really sure of any other park skis under 300 unless you look in BST, im sure you can find a good pair in there, where do you live and what are they for, pow/park etc..

if you can hold off a bit, you can get some killer end of season deals at your local shop

I got volkl alleys for 200 and they're pretty good. Not the most durable, but for the park its okay if you get some dents

OP, put threads like this in gear talk in the future. And look on ebay, BST, or wait for april-may to get some new sticks. Also take bindings into consideration. Not worth having nice skis with sketchy ass binders.

If you look at the stickies in gear talk, it will show you how to give us the best information so we can help you. Without a lot of the information, you could end up on the El Dentes, when you wanted a stiff ski
