Go to a nearby ski shop and ask them for a used ski box from one of their recent shipments. Typically the bindings should be removed and then shipped in a separate box to avoid damage to them or other items in the transport. However, the bindings could be packed well with pieces of cardboard to build the area up to smoother surface. UPS is a common carrier for many companies in the ski business. Prices do very for size, weight and shape of the package.

Here are some skies I've been looking at myself. Although I'm focused more on powder and big mountain then park.

I personally like Praxis skies so get a chance to look at the rest - http://praxisskis.com/index.php?option=com_virtuem...

I'm still researching for more skies that I like and I'll edit them in as I find them

Just got myself Armada JJ's for 720 $ Canadian. Only good reviews about them, they are quite a desirable ski and sold out within 2 weeks of coming out last year, so if you want them, they might be hard to find later on. The link to them is above. Line ski's are great btw, just a little more expensive. But the prophet series looks great.

Line Elizabeth's or Sir Francis Bacon's both are more mountain than park, but nevertheless they are line's. I don't like the new Armada's

Definitely Line masterminds or Line chronics. Both are good for all mountain and park. Both are a little on the stiffer side but you can still do tail presses and nose butter on them. Those are the ones i would go for.

You realize this is the most asked question here, right? Well, my stock answer: demo some skis, see which ones are best for you. What is best for me, may not be best for you. If you can "ski anything", you should already know that.

You don't really narrow it down at all.

What brands have you been looking at?

How tall are you? weight?

How aggressive of a skier are you?

How do you mainly want to ride?

Answer some of these so its easier to help you out
