Topic really says it all. I'm buying new skis and trying to find a nice set of park skis (just the skis) for under 500.

I know those are sick skis but the graphics are hideous. Might go for afterbangs though..

Its not going to be too hard to do that, I am getting some of these http://www.causwell.com/details.php?prodId=223&category=2&secondary=0&keywords= I haven't ridden them yet obviously but I can tell you wont buy buy skis from a more legit brand or shop and I did have Surface skis last year, they were bomb proof and rode SO well, made my old Armadas feel RUBBISH.

Line graphics might suck in your opinion, but once you ski em you'll love em. I'm not sure if I like the design of the afterbangs. They are built more for urban jib stuff

If you don't mind not riding the newest stuff, I suggest you look for skis from last years, shops usually sell them for around 50% at this time of the year, so you could get exactly the ski you like for a really good price.
