i have the line masterminds which are full camber and stiffer buyt the same price as the tigersnakes, and they are decent. they hold up not bad for what i do with them. sliding rails and about 30-40ftjumps

Line chronic, Armada ARV88, AR7
These are all around the $350 to $400 price point.

These are skis that can be used as awesome all mountain skis yet awesome park skis. lots of pop and stability in all. The Pricing will only be $50 to $100 more than the others listed in this thread.

The problem with those cheaper skis is that they're really boring to ski. The cheaper construction of those will provide less pop, worse carving and will fall apart sooner.

I had Rossi Storms my first year of park and was amazed with how much more i could do when I bought Ar7's the next season.

Spend the extra money; you wont regret it.

Thanks im thinking the chronic would be a good choice as i do about 70% jumps 30% rails

Volkl Ledge over the K2 press. You have sidewall on the Ledge and its a true twin. Also its not rock hard so you can learn butters and shytt. K2 Press is capped tf out from tip to tail. and will feel like a noodle.

I think the new Line Honey Badger is a safe bet. Full cap construction make it light, nimble and catch free in the park and a soft core makes it pretty buttery/playful
