what are some super soft playful skis that can still perform fairly well on jumps? I've had nothing but stiff skis and I want to be able to butter

I have Icelantic Da'nollies and they are incredibly buttery. I live in Michigan though so the biggest jump I've really had to test them on is about 40 ft. They seemed to hold up fine. They are the most fun skis i have ridden. Icelantic discounted them so I'd look for a pair from past years or a new pair of the nomads because they seem to have almost the same flex.

If you can't butter stiff skis, it doesn't seem like noodles will do you much good.

Armada Edollos and B-Dogs. Both are fairly soft, but the B-Dogs take playfulness to a whole new level. Those thick edges don't hurt either. We've seen Dollo take his skis off the big air jumps and super flexed nose butters in the streets. So there. Those two are pretty good. Don't try line unless you don't care about topsheets. Another playful soft ski is the Fat-ypus L-Toro. Bit pricey but cop em next season and you may get a deal

I've heard good things about the Vishnu Wets, and it looks like Wabs gets pretty buttery on em. Im going to try and get a pair for next year

oxicleanIf you can't butter stiff skis, it doesn't seem like noodles will do you much good.


that statement makes no sense.

k2 domains are the sloppiest wettest noodles ive ever used. Used to think they were the shit but you cant jump onto anything with them they have no pop they are really just good for slapping around and buttering on flats. the Line blends are quite solid skis underfoot and sloppy at the tip and tail youll like those.

I find the edollo ski though advertised as a buttery ski, is more poppy and snappy and skis like a jump ski than a truly buttery ski, which is not a bad thing.

Havent tried the bdog ski but that may be a noodle.

I wouldn't get a noodle because they won't be the best on jumps look at a rockered medium flex ski. The rocker will make it easy to butter and the medium flex will help with landings.
Some skis that come to mind:
On3p filthy rich
Armada edollo
Moment vices
Just my 2 cents

Perfection in park skis. They are unbelievably fun, buttery but still stable enough for jumps.
