Anyone know good park bindings and skis? I’m 5’8 120lbs (16yrs old). I’m currently looking at line chronics 2019, and possibly some look pivot 12s

Im looking to rent books for this coming season because I may grow out of boots.

I ski the east coast-very icy (shitty conditions)

What kinda skis are you looking for? What's your riding style? Do you have a price range? There are a lot of skis out there and its hard to make a recommendation based on "oark skis and bindings"

A ski that is under $500 would be ideal. Also I do more jibs and small jumps. Looking for something where I can ski all east coast terrain as well as ride the park a bit

Also I do 180s, 360s, and some backies. Also some minor rail tricks (nothing crazy)

if you want a nimble ski and to 'progress' with relative ease, make sure you purchase skis that are symmetrical in shape i.e. the tail of the ski is the same width as the front tip and mount your bindings dead centre

Not at all necessary. Tom Wallisch Pro's aren't symmetrical, my skis 4frnt Vandals aren't symmetrical. There's plenty of park skis that aren't symmetrical. Don't sweat it.

i've always found that spinning and skiing switch is slightly easier, with symmetrical skis but to no real advantage, imo
