Hey! I’m looking to buy an end of season dedicated park ski but I’m on a pretty tight budget. I’ve come down to the honey badger or the reckoner 92 and am curious what people rec between the two. I’ll be doing rails boxes and smaller jumps mostly. Want a lightweight fun ski!

faction prodigy 1. honey badger is a no go unless it’s basically being given away and the reckoner isn’t as good as the prod 1

What's your budget? Where are you located? Anywhere with good used stuff?

facebook marketplace or ebay. check out sideline swap or gear trade too. I personally ride fatypus skis which are probably the most fun skis I've ever been on as far as flex and weight goes, but they can get pricy because they're an independent brand. I'd say go with the reckoner if you are locked into those two options but check out the used market first, especially for park skis. They're just going to get beat up on anyway

PNW and I’d prefer to keep it under 400. Got a couple used gear stores I’ll be checking out.

Try and get access to a pro deal, get one yourself or find a friend who works at the mountain and get them to order for you.
