Ive had trouble makers, scrtches, chronics and now walls. its tough to say because I changed a lot as a skier between skis and I didnt always get the exact length i wanted but so far Id say the best were the chronics and the scratche were my least favourite but were still pretty good

Line opus is hands down my fav ski I've ever been on. The worst were the K2 public enemies. I know some people will still say they were one of the best park skis ever made. Regardless of the shitty topsheets, they jus never worked out for me. The swing weight never felt right. I would under rotate, then throw harder to compensate and would over rotate. Just never felt comfortable on those skis. After those I got the cryptos and it was like night and day.

I've had:

Salomon 1080s 2005 model
Armada T-Hall 2006 model
Rossignol Scratch FS 2007 model
Armada AR6 2008 model

Ranked in order from BEST to WORST:

AR6
Scratch FS
1080s
T-Hall

Interesting that Armada made my favorite ski and least favorite ski.

I want Domain's soooo bad!

Best: Line Invaders
Worst: Line Afterbangs (not for me, too damn heavy.) Although I know a lot of people who like them so I wouldn't discourage them.

ive got some older rossi scratch FS WRS park skis from back when Rossi had a legit pro team. and those are my all time favorite skis. they have killed it for me. they ride amazing.

least favorite are probably some 2nd gen fujatives, they dont see much riding unless i want to beat the hell out of them on rocks or something.

probably my most versatile pair of skis are the surface live lives 2 I wish i had a second pair so i could see how they tele'd

i have a love hate relationship with my kung fujas. i am on my third pair of 08-09 model and i love them...until they snap every year. K2 embossed their logo on the ski and it snaps there every time.

gravity has worked on all of mine so far.

The red ones we got at a ski swap back in 92? were probably the worst, but I still had a blast on them.

Worst - some hand me down 185 Blizzard's from the 80's I got from a great uncle when I was like 13. They were as straight and stiff as 2x4's, but I learned 360's on them.

Best - OG Fujatives (red ones) or New Life's. Those Fujatives were bombproof and SO soft and buttery. Made for a really good time in the park, but kind of a pain in the next everywhere else. New Life's are stiff, but playful and super fun in almost every condition. Used them as my daily driver the last couple of seasons. I'm getting out on my new Jmo's for the first time on Saturday, so I may have a new 'best' ski pretty soon if they live up to the hype.

I've skied a lot of really good and really bad skis in my life, but I haven't owned too many bad ones.

Worst: 190 4frnt VCT
Best: 189 4frnt Turbo

The strange thing is that the Turbo is a VCT with rockered tips/tails. The only other difference is that the VCT was made in Quebec and the Turbo in Slovenia. The old one was bad, the newer one was really good.
