Alright so I already searched barred it and couldn't find anything. I am looking for a light playful park ski in the 2016 model... I have a price budget of under $600 and would like to keep it lower then that. I already have more of a heavy, stiff comp. ski but for the days that I feel like messing around i would use those. I am currently looking at the atomic infamous skis but I am not sure of any better ones then that.
I'd stay away from the infamouses since they have had durability issues in the past some skis to look at are line chronics, filthy riches, nordica omw, Salomon TNT, armada bdogs and thalls

Didnt you order thalls?
SteezOnSkis12Didnt you order thalls?
Yes and i rode on the chronics this year there a great ski but they don't have the most durable edges
I'm going to get some walls for my more playful park skis next season. They are a great combo of power underfoot but with still a good amount of flex in the tip and tails. I found them supper fun to butter about on but you could still ski hard and in control.
Infamousrs have the worst durability issues ive ever seen in a ski. No idea how they still sell that ski

It's because they fixed that issue this past season.
This is going to sound absurd but if you're not a bigger skier, look at some lady-specific skis. Its insane how light they are while maintaining support and stiffness (for park use anyways) and many of the skiers that you have probably looked up to in ads or movie segments, have had just as much fun on them as their regular gear. Its a different feel so unless you're a super aggressive or bigger skier, I would highly suggest looking at some lady-specific ones. The ARW, Missdemeanor, and Atomic Supreme skis are all super fun.

do you mean they fixed it for next years? Because this past years still had the exact same problem, even with 2 more rivets

Really? That stinks. We had issues with the 2014 model but when replaced with the 2015, they seemed to be doing just fine as we haven't gotten any back with delam problems. Atomic did mention they addressed the issue but I cannot honestly say if they meant for the current or next year's lineup.
K-Dot.Joystick makes some fun planks
I second this

My friend who weighs like 110 broke 2 pairs of Infamous's this season, so they are still shit. Also, I dont think any guy in his right mind would buy women's skis.
Get some HG's. Definitely playful and decently light. The Transfer is going to be the most playful of the bunch. Check out their kickstarter.

Most who are against a women's ski haven't tried one out ;)
But yeah as posted, a women's ski isn't ideal for most park rippers but never count them out because even in some cases, there's barely a difference between male and female skis.
You would probably also enjoy the J Skis Whipit. Definitely light and easy to throw around, nice flex for buttering that won't fold out from under you. Definitely a good jib ski that I would throw in the mix with the Stinger or Transfer from HG.

it's prolly cuz they have so many people on their team riding them, it tricks us all into thinking they would actually be a good ski
The new model from HG skis for next year, the transfer. prolly perfect for you and you can get it for a lot less than your budget right now on kickstarter like lemuel said
