Hey i'm looking to buy some new skis this season and I've looked at a couple models I like but other than that I don't have much of an idea. So I ski in and around Calgary (Lake louise, sunshine, COP) so it can be real icy at times. I'm a fairly decent skier so probably advanced skill level and I plan to mostly ski park. I'm looking to spend less than 500 without bindings and I'm 6'3 and 185.

Do you prefer camber or rocker
Do you like a soft or stiff flex
Do you ride more rails or more jumps

Answer these questions and it will be a lot easier for people to recommend skis for you

I mostly hit 40 ft+ jumps with some rails but not a ton so I need a stiffer ski

armada ar7, volkl walls, k2 shreditor 92, atomic punx, fischer nightsticks, revision dimes, just to name a few. do some more research on the skis and pick the model that fits what you want the most. get the biggest size if ur gona get a pair.

I have a lot of comp jock friends and they love their Volkl Walls. I'd also recommend the Amplid Syntax

Take a look at the volkl wall and te salomon NFx. They are two of the best full on park skis currently at the mpment. The wall is quite a bit softer in the tip and tail but still really stable at speed.
