Ski Recommendations

Hey guys, So here's my ideal park ski,

Stiff under foot (like race ski status), but a buttery tip and tail is preferred
Symmetrical design between tip and tail (So you could mount the binding facing either way and it would matter)
The waist dirrectly centered
something durable as fuck

I'm 5'11, 165 lbs and I have an equal background as a racer and as a park skier.

Any recommendations?

I've been hearing good things about Surface double time, Volk wall, Rossi S4 & scratch, as well as k2 recoil. Let me know what you guys think of those and give me some more to think about!

Thanks.

You pretty much described the ON3P Filthy Rich to a T with your "ideal ski"...

Damn perfect! I was hoping to get a 2013 ski at a discount price, but I might have to settle, or wait till spring and try to snatch the 2014 model.

Thanks for putting that on my radar man!

Forgot Rossi scratch was on sale as well. Not centered but still good.

its not symmetrical but it the ride isnt very affected by it but Head Caddy ski. super playful tips and tails and underfoot doesnt even flex. Filthy riches are overrated imo

Volkl Wall

Ace of Spades

Those are the two best symmetrical park skis out right now.
