I weigh about 130 and am 5'8 with lots of experience in the park. Especially big kickers.

I don't have them but I was going to get them and this is what I have heard: slightly softer than the walls, more durable than the Atomic Punx, vertical sidewall if that matters to you. I assume you're doing mostly park but they're a great slopestyle ski.

made almost the exact same jump 3 seasons ago, was on 05/06 scratch's got the step as felt the wall was too stiff and the ledge was a noodle and have loved every day on them. with the full symmetry they ride same switch as forward which is nice for switch confidence, the base is super fast (assuming you maintain the wax) edges have been durable and only after 3 seasons (one almost solely on rails) have i had edge cracks. general durability has been really good, still only minor top sheet chipping because of the stepped sidewall design, only minor problem on the nose after skiing into a concrete wall, some delam under foot at the end of the 3rd season which was easily fixed with jamming some 2 part epoxy in and clamping. would definitely recommend and would buy again in an instant.

Everytime I'm on my Ledges, I have a fucking blast on them. They grip super well on rails, pretty lightweight, good pop, land jumps well and nice and buttery. A couple things I don't like about them is that their topsheets are shit (which is typical for Volkl) and they're not amazing all over the mountain (which is typical for a park ski). Super fun ski though, love em'.

Thanks for the advice guys. Im just still leaning toward the ledges because of the good price and from the reviews ive been reading.

I have a couple friends who ride the volkl ledge, they love them! They're fairly light and super buttery, they seem pretty durable too and my friends love to beat on them.

Don't get the ledge, that's a tweener ski
