Hello,  I ski in the east coast Québec.I am an advance skier that skis everything. but, what I'm looking for in this future pair of skis is a ski that is good and durable in the park and I like to do rail more then jumps. I am 17 5'9, 150 pounds and my BUDGET(!) IS no more than $500 without bindings.

thanks you!

From my experience this is not true. also i'd like to see pics of this cause I just don't believe it. Lines are a great value and abangs seemed to meet this kids needs.
