So where is the situation, I am new to park skiing and I am looking for a ski that will be a good beginner ski to tricks/rails on that won't break the bank. I am 5'6" and 130lb. So here is what I have narrowed it down to.

Head Black Jack 80 BK Skis 163 length

Line Anthem skis 161 length

Volkl Alley Skis 168 length

Any comments on which ones you think I should purchase or if you guys have any other suggestions that would be helpful.

Thanks!

If you are just getting started you are going to want a softer more forgiving ski. You don't want to go short though. I would say 172 anthems, Salomon 2012(will be the rocker 90 next year) or Lords, Armada Ar7 or 6, or even better the El Rey.

Hope that helps.
