Advanced Piste skiier looking to start having a crack at some park stuff. What do u reckon? Have narrowed down to these 2 skis as have limited options in Aus to get skis before I leave for Queenstown.

Poaches all the way IMO and they fit the bill a little more.

Thanks guys, ended up going with the Punx as they were almost 1 kg lighter, not the best for off-piste but I ripped up Cardrona for 2 weeks in them all the same.

Just to clarify... for anybody out there who is also deciding between the two skis, the Punx is not 1kg lighter than the Poacher. More like a little less than 300g per ski.

My bad, maybe 1kg was a bit of a stretch! haha 600g though is a fairly noticable difference for me, I already require heavier skis because I need 180cm+ due to my height. The lighter the better for me
