Your Pro Model/Dream Ski

What would be your dream ski, or what would you make your pro model as if you had one?

Mine would be reverse sidecut, about 138-145-120-140-135, 175 length, super lightweight, huge rocker but with camber underfoot, stiff in the middle but getting progressively softer towards the tip. and with reinforced sidewalls.

hmm, thats a pretty good idea, but i'd a foam core to make it super light.

anyway my "dream ski" would be rossi s3 bc weight, small rocker to camber underfoot. volkl bridge flex and 120/98/120. pretty much a stiffer version of the rossi s3 bc with a wider tip/tail. it would be a park ski with a wide platform and easy to stomp on,with some powder capabilities.

I honestly think that thet is a terrible idea, the skis would probably break easily due to use of cheap materials and bad productions, and if it somehow became a popular ski it would create tons of waste, although i'm sure there are much more wasteful things in skiing.  Also, if you went through two pairs per season, then you might as well have bought the previous seasons ski and had a much better ski with real edges. Having to always replace broken skis would be a drag too.

a softer, 100% symmetrical Amplid Syntax, but with the Anti-Abuse Base of the Antidogma, and the rocker on the Alpha 1.

BAM!  look at that, dimensions within a mm and length within a cm, and $350(if I remember right?)

I like sidewall park skis much more than cap(I think blue steele is sidewall) so I'm not sure how 333skis park skis would be(wouldn't be bad at all, just in my experience sidewall skis carve better), but my ski from him(Michael, 333) is a 195, 118 underfoot,farely largely rockered tip and medium length low rise tail rocker, plenty of tip taper and some tail too...  129/140/118/125/115...medium tip flex, med-stiff tail, stifff underfoot.  So that's pretty much everything I wanted in a charging ski aimed at pow, and those babies are under 10 lbs, so they should tour well.  I wouldn't want a ski like this any lighter.

120-100-120.. early taper...
40cm x 5degree 3stage rocker..
Mid flex
All the benefits of a wide waist on rails without the added swingweight. Perfect for butters and presses and jibbing.

Yup. Except me. And like 2 other people. Some company should get on this and make some fat twin thats rockered a bit, fairly soft, and super light.

96/97 underfoot
124 tip & tail
slight reverse camber, or slight rocker. (great for presses)
Nice and soft, and a carbon layer so they're good for olies.
