So heres the story, I am a 16 year old who wants to get into park skiing. I have skied since the 3rd grade and have done slalom for my school team since 9th grade. So i no what im doing on the hill but i dont want a ski that costs a lot. other stats about me i am 5-9 and 140 lbs. I live in MN so i really dont have access to bigger jumps so a jibbier ski would be best. What ski should i buy for the season!!!! Thanks!

I would go with this years chronics. You are probably still going to rip around the mountain and this years chronics allow you to do that while still being a good park ski. They are not going to be as soft as punx but with how soft the punx are they are going to suck with soft snow, wash out when you land a jump not so perfect.
