I am able to get a pretty good deal on some of the volkl skis I was wondering if any of them would fit what I am looking for, I am about 5'10" I enjoy skiing in the park and pipe but not the strongest on rails I also enjoy just skiing fast and carving a lot. Can anyone help me?

you're going to have to be a little more specific than just "Volkl" skis. What model?

The Wall sounds what you're looking for the most.

It's a stiffer full camber park ski and it will work great in the pipe and on jumps. Also because it's stiffer and is full camber you will really be able to drive the ski fast and carve on it.

It's also not to wide underfoot (less than 90mm) which makes it quick edge to edge for carving and easier to learn swaps and edge control on rails which could be helpful in progressing your rail game.

I have the Walls. They are sweet skis, pretty tough but not really buttery, but it doesn't really sound like you're looking for a soft ski. They can be really good all mountain skis, so I'd suggest them. I got the 2013's on evo for pretty cheap.

the strep should be decent since they are stiff and not symmetrical

I thought the only ski that wasn't symmetrical in their park range was the kink never knew the step wasn't either.

They are symmetrical, they're 112-85-122. They're also not really that stiff, they're softer than the Walls.
