So as of right now I have my Kartel 96 for my non storm day all mountain ripper.

JJ UL Zeros for my pow days.

I would really like a dedicated park ski that I can center mount and beat up so I'm not beating my Kartels when I wanna go in the park. Would like something 178-181 and on the softer side.

If you're using the Kartels as more of an all-mountain ski, I'd go with a more traditional narrow, cambered park ski like the Caddy, NFX, Punx, Nightstick, Moment Transition, 4Frnt Click, Liberty Transfer, etc.

I'd also like to point out that I'm 31 and pretty novice when it comes to park.. basic slides.. 270 outs... 360s off jumps..

Basically I'm not going to be getting too crazy so I dont know how much of a stiff park hucker I need.... although I would like to progress.

Just dont wanna beat my $900 custom kartels trying to learn shit.

Thoughts on the CT 1.0 or the BDogs?

Fair enough man, I feel where you're coming from! There's a lot to be said for going to a wider, softer park ski like the Blends, Wets, or Edollos, but the disadvantages that come with that, especially when first starting out in the park, are going to be a less stable platform for landings, especially in the tail, and greater swingweight. That being said, at the end of the day you should ski on whatever you enjoy skiing on!
