I’m 5ft 7in 175lbs advanced skier on the east coast. This ski will be used for 50% park 50% all mountain. In the park I mainly hit all size jumps but rarely ever hit rails so I want a ski that has a lot of pop and stability on landings. For all mountain ill mainly be playing around on the sides of trails looking for natural features or skiing in the woods through trees trying to find fun lines with jumps so i’m not too concerned with carving performance since I have skis for that already. Overall I want a ski that is very poppy, light weight, and stable on landings. I’d like to stay between the 85-95mm range. I was looking at the faction CT 1.0s but if you got any other recommendations let me know
If you don’t mind going wider black crows atris and anima are two great skis even on the east coast. They both rip on ice and groomers and are ridiculously maneuverable in trees and bumps. And when we do get our east coast dump days they send all day.
If you wanna stay thinner I’d look up the black crows camox line blend the j allplay or anything similar. For the east coast and what you seem to want to do, anything with tip and tail rocker with a good amount of camber underfoot will do you right.
