I will be sad to see my trusty future spins go but I am in need of some new sticks, I'm thinking Volkl Wall skis, opinions or recommendations for a decent park ski? What would you get?

How tall are you?
How much do you weigh?
How experienced are you?
Do you ski mostly park, or do you ski all over the mountain?

Buy some ON3P's! I'm a proud owner of a pair of Filthy Rich's and I couldn't be happier to be on such a fun and durable ski.

Anything made by ON3P. Filthy Riches are good as well as the Kartels.

i have been riding 181 futurespins for the last season and they were probably long enough i would say, i found them pretty easy to handle i would like something in-between, would like to be able to stomp landings but also butter takeoffs

Alpha Xs fit the bill. I don't know if they make them in your size tough.

J skis only go up to 178.... might be a bit short.... i personally have never skied a pair but apparently they have the perfect stiffness (hold up well but can be playful).

Also when they come out it might be worth looking into Wammy Tallnuts new sticks from Line.

Good luck
