So a ton of skis have had amazing reviews from most people, but without comparison to skis.  I just made this to here what people that have skied a ton of park skis favor for jumps/pipe, and for jibbing.  post away.

ALSO, just one question about Punx: is it worth getting them for the butters/jibs, or should I be getting a different ski for that(at 160lbs)?  I have about 200 to spend on a 172ish park ski(I have 181 Pipe Cleaners, so want a short park ski) that is fun to butter around and is poppy(I have extra bindings).  It will get all the urban use(rails out of resort and stuff) and will be used a ton on rails/boxes/jibs.  I will for sure hit lots of jumps with whatever ski I get but I have PCs for that(when I want a 181 and stiffer park skI) so wonder if Punx are worth it.  Other cheap park ski ideas are welcome(won't be buying Lines though).

yeah re-read that and it seems unclear, my bad.

I was wondering what are some favored park skis for people that have skied alot of the high end skis(since most people on here post about the few they have skied, w/o much to compare them with).

ive skied on elan mo2's, 3 pairs of invaders, liberty larose pro models, moment reno jibs, and lizzies.  i thought invaders were the best skis ever until i stumbled upon the laroses and jibs, as well as the lizzies.  these 3 skis are all amazingly light, and super fun park skis.  while the jibs and laroses are stiff, they are still really fun and poppy, and kill it on jumps and rails.  the lizzies are noodles (maybe even softer than invaders) and obviously pop and butter like none other.  they are extremely fun on rails, but i prefer something a little longer/stiffer for jumps, even though they still do very well on decent sized jumps because of their width.  i would recommend the laroses or jibs if you are looking for a great park ski.

I'll go look up the (liberties?).  I know almost nothing about them.  You didn't comment on the M02s, how are they?

 oh and I am looking for a jib-oriented ski, so I will remember to keep elizabeths on there just in case there is a cheap pair.

already took them off due to the stupid edge on the base..how pointless and can only get in the way.

down to Punx or WLs or 222 skis.  Feel free to throw up other ideas too, took out addicts and Jo pros.
