Hello, my name is Dan and I ski in the East Coast. I am an ADVANCE TYPE 2 SKIER ( that skis almost everything (not cliffs or . but, what I'm looking for in this future pair of skis is a ski that PERFORMS IN park while still being able to ski all Mountain and I like hitting smaller jumps in the park and would like to get more into park skiing. I am 16 5'7, 175 pounds and my budget is no more than $350 without bindings. I would prefer a pair of skis that could last me for 3-5 years (only skiing 10-15x a year) and also a lighter ski.

$350 probably won't go that for if you are looking for durability.
But if you are only skiing 10-15 days a season and you aren't beating the shit out of your skis doing huge disasters n shit your price point is probably pretty reasonable.
If you want to go really cheap you could get a pair of surface park or all mountain blanks for $250.

Thank you for the reply. I will look into these skis. I have one more question. Do you know anything about Line Honey Badger's durability and the durability of the Line Afterbangs or the Chronics?

I've never skied lines, but from just general opinions of friends and such I wouldn't recommend them as very durable skis

SofaKingSickdont worry about retail pricesjust pick some park skis with a good rep and find a pair from last season or so
id suggest some armada ar7s, and you can def find some for less than 350
What do u think about Kartel 98s. There are some people selling them in great condition from demos and I could probably get them for $420 plus shipping. Do you think they would be better than AR7s?

Both great skis, can't go wrong. But, if durability is a priority, most people on NS would tell you to pick the ON3P Cartel over just about anything else out there.

Yeah man! great skis with a really good reputation-- you'll have trouble finding negative words about them at all. Great size and shape for a one skier quiver too. If you can get them for a good price that'll be a great pick for sure

I'd say ON3Ps, but they're out of your price range unless you go used.
At that price point you'll either be looking at ski models from a few years ago (fine, but size availablity can be an issue) or cheaper skis. If you can up your price to $400-$450 you'd be golden given the off season sales that are about to start.

I would but there are some you can get for $500 and they come with bindings so that would be just as much as $350 ones with bindings that are $150
