M.Mif i could pick one ski for what youre describing id go with the Gear talk... i think its made by forums.
candide 2.0. magnus/kartel after broken in or custom with lighter fiberglass. arv 96 are pretty soft aswell but bdogs will be softer
RparrI've been riding the bdogs for several iterations, and they're always noodles. Furthermore, each time they re-design it, they seem to say something like "Warning: this version of the bdog is considerably softer than previous iterations". So I imagine by now, they're literally noodles
cheerioEdollos (or Al Dente's)
roharaLINE Blend 171 about as flexy as you can get

JakeDalBonIm riding the k2 press rn. Ive been skiing park for 3 years and they were good for learning jumps n shit but im looking for something a LOT flexier. I was thinking about the bdogs or vishnus but vishnus only go down to 177 and i need something 164-168. I think i might get the bdogs but any suggestions help. Thanks:)
SlunkyWith skis keep in mind they typically ski shorter than their advertised length, and the vishnus are so soft as well I think a 177 would be fine for you
brett_fisherVishnus are kinda wack on jumps really easy to get backseat I've only skied a couple laps on em.
i had edollos for the winter and they were sick stiff tail and underfoot but soft nose for the occasional butter.
id go bdogs if your set on one of the two ,bdogs will be a lot stabler and you'll still be able to hit jumps comfy and have a soft ski.

this dude rides b dogs on the big line and slays.
Shoey-Skiimo flex on vishnus and the new bdogs is similar ( hand flex i havent ridden my vishnus yet) B dogs were fairly stable for me on jumps but were buttery enough to throw butters everywhere, that being said im much bigger than you, so just because i think a ski is soft you couuld potentionally think its stiff. Line honey Badgers seem super soft, and may be good for your size but i question lines durability. Also vishnus and any rockers ski will ski shorter than there actuall length so if you are used to k2 presses in a 160ish lenghth a vishnu at a 177 wouldnt be that much longer. Also the 10cm difference is like 3 or 4 inches so dont let it scare you away too much.
