I need new skis this season but can only dish out $300 or under, where are some good places to find cheap park skis?

If you want something new look for sales on last year's skis or get something like the Line honey badger, I think they're around 300 or 350

what size do you need? you can definitely get a great pair of park skis for that price. here are armada arv 86s for $280, sizes 170 and 177. def others out there if those sizes don't work for you though.

if you need cheap good bindings to go on them you can get Attack 13s for less than $150

That's a great deal thanks, how would marker griffons do on these, I've never ridden armada so I'm not sure what bindings to use.

Griffons are fine, i'm not a huge marker fan but countless people love them. do you own them already or are you buying?

regardless, just make sure your binding's brakes fit your skis well enough. so if you get these ARV86s ideally you'd have a brake size around 85 (but there's breathing room!)
