Skis similar to Obsethed?

Title says it all. I'd appreciate it if you guys could list some skis similar to the obsethed.

I want to stay under a 110 waist and need the ski to still be park capable, although park will most certainly not be the primary use of the skis.

Regular camber with rocker is what I'm looking for btw....

Thanks, +K

moment has 2 skis in particular- ruby and rocker- that fit in the all mountain/park category. Though the Sir Francis Bacons from Line are 115 underfoot. they are super playful and great for butters and whatnot. going over 110 for park isnt outlandish, it honestly has to do with how you ski. I would definetly give the moments a good look though....

How about Salomon Shoguns? I demo'd a pair this past week and have nothing but good things to say about them, light, poppy, float excellent in powder, stiff enough to hold up to cliffs.

Did you just name every pow-ish ski you could think of? and NEXT years bacons, which will be out in September maby?

I'd agree with Shoguns(from one post up).  Cody was killing it in the hood public park on 191s(I think). Plus, they're stiffer than Obsetheds, which I like.

dimensions are, yeah, but gotamas are a bit stiffer than obsetheds. skied my obsetheds over the weekend for the first time, mounted 3cm back from center, and they're super fun. only skied groomers and hit a few jumps with them, since i'm trying to keep the edges nice, as these are my all mountain skis. they rip groomers, are super stable for how soft they are, and actually didn't feel that cumbersome to jump with. landing with rocker is a little bit strange at first, because you can wheelie out and the ski doesn't really try and correct you as much, but pretty fun once you get used to them.

the rossi s4 are pretty similar, rocker, buttery and will still hold up really well in park. Or check out the salomon shogun. hope that helps
