Good Beginner Park Skis

Hey I’m just wondering what some relatively inexpensive beginner park skis are. I used to ski a lot and was pretty good but recently I switched to snowboarding and I just feel a call back to skiing. My board is too short for me now so I feel like this is a good time to sell that and buy some skis. I want to get more into park, but I don’t want to spend a ton of money. I just want some twin tip skis that will get me through a couple seasons for around $300 or less.

Volkl revolts, they're sick for all mountain and park. Not super flexy but they can still butter really good, and they hold really well (for me at least) on ice. I got them brand new for ab $300, without bindings tho.

How old are you and how big are you?



If you're young go with Soul Rider 84s or something. If you're bigger maybe find some 2017 K2 Domains on Ebay or some random website for like $200-300. There are tons of good park skis though and a lot can be found for that price. It depends on where you ski, your style of skiing, your size, age, etc. when it comes to what the best is.

Don't cheap out on bindings. The best bang for your buck bindings are Attack 13s by far. Or shell out some more money and get Pivot 12s or 14s. Bindings last a long time and are just as, if not more, important than the skis. Attack 13s can be found for like $140-170 quite easily and they retail at $200 typically.

That's basically what I paid for my new 2017 Domains and Attack 13s... maybe I paid $50-75 more but that's tops. I think the bindings were $130 at the time and I think the skis were $200.

$400 is where the sweetspot for skis are imo. You start to gain a lot of durability and nice materials.

50-70 is a difference
