So I broke my ski today on a switch frontflip attempt, kind of sucks because it's spring and I want to throw down in this nice weather, I am 6 feet, 160 pounds, I need something light, durable and not very expensive, any suggestions

That doesn't come around very often sorry, especially the durable part, I would say your best bet is atomic infamous I had them this whole season and thy de lamed like a week ago so they are still useful but not greatest durability but awesome ski also line mastermind is light but not very durable at all.

I would like to introduce you to the holy trinity of ski qualities:
Light, durable/quality, and cheap. You may choose 2, and only ever 2.

Making a ski that is both light and durable means using exotic materials (carbon, Kevlar, that kinda thing) and crafty construction techniques. Hence they are inherently expensive.

+K for switch front flips. By far one of my favorite tricks

the candide 1.0 is light and super durable, but they aren't too cheap, maybe you could get pro deal

look into APO they are dying here so their skis will be pretty cheap, i just got a pair of kai pro for 250
