I was looking to ANY opinions for skis for this 2016 season.

-I ski pretty much 100% park
-Im 6' 150 pounds
-I ski rails and jumps 50/50
-I dont want a super stiff ski
-Anything that is super durable
-I dont have a preference over cambered or rockered
-I am a advanced skier
-I ski the east coast!

Side note- i was looking to get a 2015 model instead of 2016 because of money...

FRs would be pretty good for you but the 2015 model is hard to find now, Kartels work too
K2 Domains would be great as well, and are pretty cheap
Depending what your budget is 2015 Da Nollies are half off atm ($300 i believe on skis.com)
Armada Al Dente 2015 might be a decent choice but iv heard of durability issues
Ive heard 4frnt switchblades are a mid flex, durable, and cheap

Id say check some of these out, but also take on other suggestions and research all these indivudually
