Park Skis?

What's up guys, new to newschoolers and park skiing. I've been skiing my whole life all over the mountain just not the park, looking to get in there more. I'm 5'11 185. Been riding line prophet flites for the last 4 years. Looking for pretty soft skis to mess around with. Want to mainly hit rails and boxes. On a college budget so looking for sub-$500. The cheaper the better. Looking at the new afterbangs and 4frnt's click. Your thoughts? thanks in advance

K2 domains are a softer rail ski. You could grab ON3P filthy riches when they go on sale in the spring if you're quick about it.

Atomic infamous for sure! And to the post above, on3p's are already sold out most places and they're not soft

Afterbangs are Anti-soft, avoid those.

So far my favorite skis have been my Atomic Punx(2013), Nice and buttery but stiff enough to pop. Super light, too. I hit rails 80% of the time and I love them. I heard they stiffened the new ones up a little but are still pretty soft. Or, check out J skis, I shouldn't have to explain if you click the link.

I so think atomic punx are perfect. They are snappy and responsive and super playful on rails and jumps

If you're looking to really get good at this, I'd say take Atomic Punx, Armada AR7s, Line Chronics, Volkl Walls/Steps, or possibly a more specific ski to your preference. If you're not sure if you're gonna be really into freestyle skiing or don't want to spend tons of money, really any decent park ski will do because they all work, some are just better than others. If you're just gonna mess around and not take it too seriously and don't want to spend the money or the time, I'd say go with something like Line Afterbangs or Masterminds or a used ski that you can find cheap because they work, and they're cheap. Basically whatever you put into your skis, you get out of them. Hope this helps

Thanks guys, I'll check out the punx and look for more used skis. I was mostly just digging the graphics on the '14 afterbangs lol
