This season i need a new pair of park skis and i ski about 90% park and i would like a ski that will hold up and is pretty soft and light. Im wondering what your guys' opinions are on the j skis? theres not many reviews up about them. Should i go with J skis? Icelantic Da'Nollie? or another type of ski?

J Skis sound more like what you're looking for than Da'Nollies. Both will be pretty durable, but the Da'Nollies will be much heavier because of their waist width. Also consider the ON3P Filthy Rich, they're light, poppy, super durable, soft in the tip and tail, but still stable underfoot and a ton of fun to ride.

I've seen several of both skis here in the shop. I actually mounted J skis pair number 2. I cant tell you how impressed I am with Icelantic durability. We see the STEPT boys often and Chuck never had a problem with them last season no matter what he put them through.

remember that the icelantic da'nollies are 88mm waist full camber if you buy 2014s or 95mm waist camber/rocker if you buy the 2015s so there is essentially two options with the da'nollies.

Icelantic for sure. They are soooooo durable. And yeah, they might be a little heavier but you won't notice if they are. And if you're looking for soft to butter, you can butter to the moon on the Da'Nollies. And nobody can beat those top sheet graphics.

I had danollies for the past two seasons and they are so far my favorite ski, incredibly durable and scratching the top sheet with your pole makes a cool ass noise because of whatever that material is

WTF is this? I'd vote jskis, go for their WhipIt size. I skiied the All Play last year and it was great for everything park/pow up to 6-8". Sounds like you are pretty much just into park so could benefit from the lower weight/don't really need the wider waist. They're sick skis and the topsheets/bases look awesome and the build quality is up there with the best of them.
