Hi guys, so the end of this season is coming up and that means instead of skiing all the time I'm going to be thinking about it. With that said I'm thinking about next years gear. This year I had Rossi Sprayers. I focused mainly on park as my home mountain is pretty small and mediocre but the park is decent. My sprayers were 158cm(I'm 5'6 just turned 15). What skis should I look at for next season. I'm new to park if that helps. Thanks.

I am 15 and 5'5. I have been skiing since 1st grade. If I were you I would go for K2 Sherditor 102s a flexible bombproof all mountain park ski or line Blends kinda the same thing but more flexible less bombproof ski, its just more park oriented.

Great skis. Bombproof however? Far from it.

OP are you looking for a cambered ski or something more versatile?

Well I want them to be good park skis but I can't really go all out park as I won't be able to get more than 1 pair. All mountain/slightly more park oriented is probably gonna work best.

Also I'll check out the skis mentioned above ty

Checked out the 102s and I think they might be a little more geared toward pow than what I was looking for. Not too sure about the blends but they are out of my price range most likely.

I can say the AR7s are a little more but worth it i abused mine and they held 2 seasons before i outgrew them then gave them to my friend who is now ripping them...

I was in the EXACT situation as you last year. I ended up getting the volkl ledges. love the ski so much i would get some now from backcountry for 299 while they are that cheap. But FYI the top sheets are shit. They chip a lot, but I use epoxy to fill/protect the cracks from more damage. Good luck!
