Need a bit of advice for some new whips. Previously I've had the Volkl walls, and I want something lighter and wider with more rocker. I'm not a heavy guy and I spend around 70% of my time in the park. Don't normally hit crazy size jumps. Not worried about pow performance, but it would be nice to have that option. I guess I'm needing something with low swing weight thats fun to play around on. I've been looking at:
- Faction 2.0 (seems pretty great, durability may be an issue with thin edges)
- ON3P Magnus 90 (good durability, expensive, heavy?)
- J Skis Allplay
- Armada BDOG (maybe not so good for out of the park performance, and a little narrow)
Any suggestions I would be stoked to hear!

Help me find something surfy, light and rockery :)
I am a bit biased but you should look into the Vision 108 and 98s. Super light, surfy and playful.
I have some Armada ARV 106s super surfy light and playful with the re designed pop lite core and rocker/camber/rocker helps it shred all over the mountain I love them I skid them once but I wanna do the 116s. But also a biased post lol

buy ON3P's

I have Faction 3.0 and they are one of the lightest skis i've ever been on. So far so good on edges.

I would agree with this if he was touring or skiing in the park way less, the visions are a sweet ski but not a park oriented ski.
I’d recommend OP go for the candide 2.0 or even the line blend, both super playful and wider and soft. It might be a challenge to find something light and playful while still being durable as I have yet to find a ski thats durable while still being light.
faction prodigys are pretty damn light and the latest ones have a lot of rocker

Faction Prodigy 2.0s supposed to be redisgned and real nice next year

Stop worrying about weight, most skis differ only a little and you adjsut quickly, durability, price, and what you want out fof the ski is so much more important
