If you are skiing in a snow park, you should always be using twintip skis. Rental shops will often have generic models of twintips for rental, or you can buy better quality ones from most ski shops

Depends on a LOT of things! Lighter skiers tend to like brands like Rossignol and Head, while heavier skiers prefer brands like Atomic and Nordica.
I am fairly small, but an aggressive skier and I ski on Fischers (the perfect in between ski)
In World cup standings, Atomic currently has the fastest downhill/super G ski, but Fisher has the fastest GS and SL ski.
hope that helps!
No such thing as a "best" ski, and the above answer is wrong based upon the latest World Cup (WC) standings. Racers can have their skis made any way they want, with extra layers of titanal or whatever to stiffen them. The weight of the skier, therefore, is meaningless. Also, WC racers will go through lots of skis finding the "right" pair or three for each event. Why? Because there is some inconsistency in how they come out of the molds in terms of stiffness. The most important factor today deciding who races what is money. Rossignol and Atomic spend a small fortune on racers, and a lot race their names. A small company like Stockli can't do that and may only support Swiss and Slovenia team members , yet some of the top racers in the world ski Stockli (like Tina Maze). Racers provide advertising that sells lots of recreational skis. Regardless, Rossignol was sold because of cash flow problems while Stockli remains profitable. Go figure.
OH yes I also use Fischer THEY ARE THE BEST
There are many skis that you can race on, and if you go to a ski store they can help you find the right one. There are many brands like Atomic, Dynastar, Rossignol, Volkl, Head, Fischer and many more.
Armada and Line are two pretty good skis. If your looking for a park ski then Line,for an all mountain twin tip ski that are still reliable in the park then Armada.
