What park skis should I get?

So I got a pair of 2014 Icelandic Da Nollies, which I loved but they are a little worn, already got bentchetlers so Im set for pow. I basically just want the ultimate park shredders, durable, great for flipping and spinning off jumps and great for spinning on and off of rails. I've looked at a few like ON3Ps, Nordicas, Atomics, Fischers, and Factions and am just wondering what skis you guys would recommend to me?

All recommendations are appreciated!

Ya thanks dog, btw I'm 5'11 147lbs and can do basic rail tricks I.E. k-fed, 4 out. For jumps can do like 50-60 ft ones like 7s and rodeos and stuff so definitely want a stiffer ski.

The ON3P Prester might be a better choice ski-wise for what you can do.

The Prester is a stiff, cambered park ski. It was designed because the team wanted a ski to hit really big jumps with. I was using it as my main park ski most of the season this past season and I actually really enjoyed it on rails as well as jumps. I just prefer a stiffer park ski. The FR is a medium stiff park ski, but the rocker profile makes them feel softer in the tip and tail. It can certainly handle 50-60ft jumps with no problem, but the Prester is going to hold an edge a bit better and be even more stable on those bigger jumps.

I don't know, but they have a pretty good customer service from what I hear. I'd hit shoot them a email or call them. I think they have a 2 year warranty no questions aksed.
