The Volkl Wall is a very solid ski. I rode it last season and loved every second of it. Being a symmetrical ski makes skiing switch a lot better too. If you don't like floppy skis, these are for you.

What's your height/weight? Are they still fun or playfull in the park despite their stiffness? I'm looking at these too. I don't want a noodle, but I'm just worried that these will be too stiff for rails/jibs/butters, etc.

i would suggest the 175, i'd only go larger if you are a very strong skier the shorter  the ski less swing wieght and a quicker movement.  also make sure you get them true center mounted or at most ture -1cm because the wall is a true twin with a symmetrical sidecut.

Im 5' 9" and 150lbs. If your looking for a ski to butter on then these aren't for you, unless your on the little heavier side. Other then they, they are solid on landings and they don't flop all around on rails when you get on them. Their a very solid ski and if you love a stiffer ski then you will love these. Oh ya and they are great outside the park at high speed, really good durable base too.

I'm 5'10" 175lbs. I do end up flying down groomers a fair amount.

I'm not too worried about them being buttery, I just don't want something so stiff that it isn't any fun to mess around on jibs and stuff.
