Which is better for 70% park 30% all mountain? 2013 K2 press or 2012 el rey? I almost bought the el reys after thinking about it for 3 weeks but I saw the press and I'm wondering which is better?
age 16, been skiing for 13 years
height: 5'11
weight: 200 lbs
intermediate-advanced skiier, but never owned a park ski before. I'm pretty sure the el rey is better but I just wanted some final comparison before I bought them.

For what you're looking for the el-rey will probably be better. It's more expensive but it's stiffer and will hold up better out of the park.

Haha funny you ask an idiot friend of mine told me to get the presses and I said no and ended up with the el Rey's They just came in a few days a go and are dope. My friend then got last years presses and they were too flexy and not good for a lighter pow day. Def go with the el Rey Well worth it

Go with the el reys for sure. the Press skis are best for rails and a little bit of jumps, for all mountain not the greatest
