I'm looking for a stiff 2x4 fully cambered park ski, something like the old rossi scratches, no wider than 90mm with fast sintered bases. Who still makes something like this?

The caddy has rocket according to their website. Is the revolt really my only option?

Don't look symmetrical tho, I'll see if I can track them down. I read they only made limited quantities

Full, traditional camber? Are any park skis are made this way anymore? Even most piste-carvers have a little bit. And that goes for our Punx 7. It has about as much early rise as a normal system, carving/all mountain ski. And the same high quality sintered base that is found on our commercial Redster G9 skis.

With most companies now you're not really going to find a symmetrical ski or a ski without a small amount of early-rise/rocker. The only skis that I can think of that are still fully symmetrical and have no rocker are the Volkl Revolt 87. The other closest skis are going to be the Armada ARV 86, K2 Sight, and Atomic Punx 7(symmetrical)

Our alparkas come close to what you’ve described. Thick sintered race bases & thick edges. 86mm underfoot, full symmetric. Majority camber, only 80mm long 5mm high early rise to the nose & tail. Not 2x4 stiff but real energetic with a full ash core and full length carbon bands.

if you’re interested don’t sleep on our secret NS only sale in the links below.

The tiny amount of rocker on most comp skis doesn’t change the feel much.

Of all the things that Dolan “thinks” he is knowledgeable of, skiing, ski boots and skis are on the top of the list of things that I’d never ask him advice on, he simply interprets what he reads on the internet, he ant out there skiing multiple pairs of skis and boots every year, dudes a pretend-to-be-core troll, now if I needed advice on how to stick a fuckin needle in my arm, or what swastika style to get tattooed he would be my first call.
