I'm 5 ft. 8 inches and 130 pounds. I've been riding 171 AR 7's for the past two years. I ski in michigan so I almost always ski park. I'm looking for a ski thats maybe a tad more playful than AR 7's but can still hold up on jumps up to 50 feet. The skis I'm looking at are Armada Thalls, K2 Shredittor 92, Salamon NFX Labs, Line Chronics, and Atomic Punx in that order. I'm wondering if you guys have any input. Thanks

It probably doesn't matter but I'd be getting last years model of each ski since they're much cheaper assuming they're all the same as this years.

I got chronics over the summer and spent my first couple days in the park this last week and it sounds like something you might enjoy. Not super playful but definately the poppyest park ski I've ever been on so that adds to playfulness. Didn't hit any jumps yet but they will would hold up, and line comp skiiers ski on them on huge jumps so don't be worried

Chronics sound sweet however U have heard mixed reviews regarding their durability. Does anyone hear no much about the shredditors?

Yeah I've heard mixed reviews as well, but mine seem solid, and they are more high end than other line park skis.

I've also heard good things about shredditors except that they are heavy, but haven't ridden them so can't speak from personal experience.

Chronics are super solid skis. They can do everything your gonna want them to do in the park, and I never had a problem with durability. The next skis im looking at right now that might interest you are the on3p "filthy rich", moment "pb&j", j skis "allplay", and j skis "Whipit". If you want the best durability, you cant go wrong with moment or on3p. Don't completely want to deter you from the Shredittor although I would not recommend them. There are many better park skis to be had than the Shredittor. I cannot speak for the other skis you put in your post but remember to keep an open mind. Good Luck.
