I want to start filming skiing in the park and I was looking for what wide angle lens I should buy. Something around $500?

Tokina 11-16. Comes in Canon and Nikon mounts and if you don't have either, get an adapter.

Canon 10-22mm is pretty wide, but not a fish eye. I used it for about 2 seasons and just recently sold it. It's a super fun lens. I bought it used for $400.00. Buying new runs about $600.00 I believe

you could try a sigma 10-20mm. It's not as fast as the tokina but B&H is selling it for under 300 new right now. Ive had mine for a year and a half, good build quality and comparable to the 11-16, maybe a little bit less image quality but pretty close

i tried tokina 11-16, sigma 10-20 and i own a rokinon 14mm. 10-20 gives you obviously the best range which can be fun while taking pictures. 14mm is pretty cool and wideeee, not really sharp in corners tho, normal for a uwa lens but didn't have that much of a problem with the 11-16. Overall, my favorite one is the 11-16, for its sharpeness, the 2.8 aperture, reallly good uwa lens for aps-c sensor camera. Would go for it.
