Looking for your guys opinions on what ski to buy. Looking to spend around $500 on a new pair of skis for park. I ski east coast on a small mountain, no 50ft jumps, just smaller jumps and rails and stuff. I’m 6’2” and 200lbs and relatively new to park.

if i were you i wouldn't even spend $500 on a pure park ski. armada arv 86 is a super good classic pure park ski and you can get em now for more like $300 or so
