get 2012. my freind had new ninthward skis for 4 days and ripped both bindings out. the suspects chip. im pretty sure the 2012s are different topsheets so i would get those.

You want a ski that is the most durable for rails. So a ski with thick edges would be a good match for you; the afterbangs have very thick edges. The afterbangs also have a good pop and are buttery. The punx are similiar skis since they are both symmetrical and soft. Although similiar They don't have thick edges like the afterbangs. The punx are lighter then the afterbangs, but if you want a durable ski that can take a beating go with the afterbangs.

I think afterbangs are more durable due to their thick edges. The punx are quite durable, they just aren't as durable as the afterbangs. From what I've seen.

i love my punx. they are too stiff for me to play around on. 5'2" and 110 pounds but they held up well over two seasons. but they pretty much laugh at me when i land "hard" on a rail compared to someone that they were made for lol. i love em tho. one of the best park skis i've ridden.

What about the Stepup? It seems like they might be a good fit for you.

Step-up is a stiffer version of the a- bang if im right. So yes they will be good, since he is a big guy

i destroyed my suspects in just a couple days of riding on rails. i have no trust in salomon products anymore. and ive never heard anything good about ninthward durability. the afterbangs were by far the worst ski ive ever ridden, but might be fun on the east coast.

out of your suggestions id recommend abangs. but id look into some other skis unless you really just want it for rails. the punx would be a good choice.
