Park Ski

Armada el reys. Cheap and awesome.

night sticks and caddy's are good options if you want a stiffer more responsive park ski, if you want something a bit more playful I suggest something else, but if you want a comp style park ski those are some of the best options. nightstick is a truer park ski as it is symmetrical, but the caddy will still rip park too. go with what ever is cheaper in my opinion.

fischer nightstick is a more durable ski and the stiffness is probably the same as head. dont get el rays they snap and edge delam really fast, idk really anything about head caddy

El reys are one of the best cap construction park ski out there and they do rip! they are softer tho and it sounds like OP wants a stiffer comp style park ski.

OP says he wants comp, but is also new to park. Just seems like a playful light park ski might be the better direction for him to go in, Unless he is already a very good skier where he might want something more stiff.

Funny you say that because OP’s name is Ell Ray.

I mean he’s been skiing the Punx and Recoils which are relatively stiff skis.

Not to be offensive when I call you out but if you think the el ray rips well then you probably aren't skiing hard enough or enough park. My best friend delaminates two pairs of them. The edge actually came out when hitting jumps and landing poorly on the first one then the tail delamed a week after receiving a new warranted pair of el Rays from armada. Op I think you should go with night sticks or possibly the faction 1.0 candied or 4frnt switchblade. All are great skis that are similar specs but better durability

Hopefully that helps!

im not suggesting the el reys to OP, and neither do i own a pair (knowledge come from what iv seen and heard on the hill). im just clarifying for anyone reading the thread, that depending on your style of skiing, the el reys can be a good choice.
If you are new to the park, an intermediate jiber, or a park/all mountain rider, that does not do a lot of jumps they will be a fun ski for you. and a ski that you can have fun and progress on is a ski that rips in my opinion.
yes they arnt the most durable park ski once you start doing bigger tricks, but the're not meant to be. they are one off the best options in a cheap cap construction park ski that will help you progress. if you consider yourself above beginner/intermediate jiber do not buy them. and if your a beginner do not buy al dente or something like that because you want to butter and do back flips right away, it will just be harder. buy something else like the el rey and you will progress.
