i want to know between these three skis what would be the best for me. I ride park 99% of the season and I ride rails 60% and jumps 40% of the time but would like to progress a lot more on jumps and learn inverted tricks and such.i am looking for a pretty stiff/poppy ski that can still butter a little. Also if you have any other recommendations of skis also let me know.

k2 sight is a marketed beginner park ski. Tw pro has similar marketing with a similar target audience but frankly seem to be a higher performing ski. I imagine its pretty much if line took the chronic (an amazing park/all mtn ski) and just made it fully park oriented. K2 sight i believe has a full cap construction which is durable on the cosmetic scale but wont hold up to major abuse from heavy rail skiing.

I havent rode either of these skis but my opinion is go for the TW pro. if youre having any second thoughts about performance go check out Jed_blue_waters on instagram.

I have k2 sights and Arv 86 personally like my 86 for park more cuz they are more fun for rails and they are softer. K2 sights are faster and better for jumping and sharper manoeuvres. I like my 86 for woods I fell i can take them anywhere with confidence but k2 fell smother and faster if your looking for that stuff

TW Pros. The arv 84s are a beginner park ski and the sights arent very stiff. The sights used to be a lot stiffer and were one of my favorite park skis until they made them a lot lighter flex a few seasons ago.

That's supposed to be the stiffer jump oriented ski in atomics lineup. It's really similar to the salomon nfx which I have.

The ARV 84 is a beginner park ski/tweener ski. The 86 is as much a beginner ski as the 96 or 106, not super difficult to ski but not limiting depending on your intended use.
