I havent shopped around for skis for the past few years and I want to get a good park ski this year.. The thing is I havent been checking on updates from companies and was wondering what good skis there are now! I know Moments are really good and im sure Line still has some good ones for a decent price. I currently ride Armadas and wouldnt mind switching it around trying some new brands.

Help? Probably get this years skis and wouldnt go for the most expensive one I just dont have the time I used too.

armada el reys are a good all mountain park ski... if your riding park almost everyday, the line masterminds are well priced

Honestly I picked up a pair of K2's really cheap this year not expecting much from them but I really liked them, they were the presses (2010/2011 season)
Take a look at K2 skis, because they make some good stuff.

Fatypus G-Butters. I've had mine for 3 seasons now. Still in great shape, nothing wrong with them and they are the most fun ski I've used in the park. I think they are having a sale now too

Shane get the Moment Jibs if you want a fun buttery ski. Actually the graphics for them next year are kinda ugly if that matters to you. You should get the Armada Halos broo!!! They are like a bit rockered park ski. They are wicked fun and can still do alright in east coast powder since they have a little bit of rocker.

if you get armadas you will be 100 percent satisfied..high quality/performance/durability. i would avoid lines....both my friends had them this year and it was a joke how slow they were on spring days(or warmer days in general).
