Hey I'm interested in getting a rocker style ski that fits my more aggressive ride style. Which is skiing glades, cliff jumps and I'm not much of a rail guy, but I do hit big jumps. In the park I like to mess around and have fun with butters and hand drags. So I'm really looking for a ski that's like the PB&J with its buttery, playful, float on powder, and sturdy at higher speeds and its durability which I've heard is quite good. Also i really like the high rocker on the PB&Js

I'm 16 5'11" and 140lb

So please leave your thoughts on skis like the PB&J's or Candide 2.0 with possibly a lower price as that's the reason why i'm asking for similar ones. And If you know of any of last years skis that are selling on a site or that are preowned and like the PB&js

Thanks guys!

from what i've heard the pb&j's are really fun. ON3P k98/108 are the same style as well, but they cost a little more. The CT 2.0 i think is a little more boring, a friend of mine had a pair and he felt like they were stiff and not very poppy. not very durable either. i know 2 guys that are sponsored by DOWN skis and they ski the same model for park and pow, the Throwdown 105. they all seem to love it , and buttering on those look so fun. i would defenetly suggest you looking at the Throwdown 105

Ok thanks I checked out the Throwdown 105 and they look really nice and what im looking for. What do you think of the prodigy 1.0s or 2.0s? the 1.0 is described to be a bit more on the stiff side but supposedly still buttery. Idk if you have any info on those two skis but if you do let me know thanks man appreciate the help!

I rode my pb & J's for three seasons or so and getting back into skiing this year. Sounds like you are a similar skier to me, I like to ski the woods alot and they are also really ballsy if you want to go fast even on chewed up snow/powder. I don't think you will be disappointed in them. I have 188's

Pb&j is a great ski. Kartel98/108 and the sego Big Horn 96/106 are good choices. I think the 2.0 is wayyy soft and really isn't up to charging. Always been curious on the throwdowns. Pm me is you have any questions on the Segos.
