I've been looking at buying some new sticks lately and just can't find anything reliable for the skis I want or they are just too much for my budget. Hopefully someone can help me out.

I'm 6'0"

170 lbs

I hit a lot of rails, jumps not as much, but would love to learn some new jump tricks this coming season.

I had k2 presses before and was pretty satisfied with the flex, and width, they just weren't very durable.

My budget is $400 w/out bindings.

Look for last years:

Icelandic danollies

Armada thalls

Armada edollos

Armada ar7

If you have some extra cash then I would pick up some on3p filthy riches in their sale rn, but size up because of the rocker they ski a lot shorter than they are

On3p fithy rich or Prester. both at $500 right now in your size. You can get the option of payment plan use all summer to pay them back. Best durable in my opinion.

no skis are going to be "durable" if you hit a lot of rails...thats just science. Slamming your skis and sliding on metal and plastic will ruin skis quite quickly. Get over that idea and you will be fine. Go with any cheaper park ski and replace as needed
