I've been looking around for park skis on sale and prices are from 250 to 700. What is a good price for a pair?

personally i'd never spend more than 400ish on pure park skis. armada arv 86s are dirt nasty bread and butter park skis and are like $400 at worst and commonly go well below that during sales

that said, if you use a ski a million times, the price per use can get really damn low, and equipment is important. so i don't think people are stupid or crazy to spend more on certain things

This^ I got my 86s for 280 on sale, they’ve been bombproof for someone that really only hits rails and some small jumps. Not a single edge crack or any delam underfoot or on the tips/tails. Highly recommend picking some up

Depends on the durability. I fuckt up the whole topsheet of my armada arw at day 5. I bought really expensive on3p and they are really longlasting.

$200. $250-$300 isn't bad if it's like your dream ski tho.

I wont spend over 350 on skis. I pull the trigger when the price is around 275-315 range. Takes some hunting and almost always is a late season deal but its worth it in the end.

I think around 400 to 600 is a good range

I’m here to jump on the ARV86 band wagon. I’ve seen some 2019 models online for less than $300 and the ski will do it all in the park.

consider yourselves intervened.



as for a pure park ski, i would not spend more than 300$.

but in terms of a ski that wont touch rails, usually you get what you pay for.... super goats run about 950$ :(
