I’ve been looking for a new pair of skis. I want something extremely soft, but don’t know which skis are the softest

Honey badgers are the softest park skis I can think of. Durability isn’t the greatest but they are kinda cheap at least

I agree. I’ve tried Vishnu, blends, and honey badgers and the badgers are definitely the softest. I personally don’t like skis that soft. But you do you man.

What would you say is the best balance between soft yet durable?

I would honestly say Vishnu has the best of both worlds, they are much more stiff than people realize but they have a hell of a flex when you figure out how to ride them.

I would honestly say line blends. Still not the most durable but it’s hard to find a durable ski that soft. The honey badgers just felt way too uncontrollable to me. The line blends are still super soft, but you are able to control it more. Plus, the blends are wider than vishnus so you can take them out on the rest of the mountain and still have fun.

Blends are the softest ski on the market, easily the softest ski I've ridden. I have also ridden Vishnu Wets - they're soft but also sort of snappy if that makes sense? If Blends are noodles then Wets are rubber bands. Both are great skis though.

Other notable mention is the Bdog/bdog edgeless

Lol do edollos still feel like noodles? I remember my friend copped thanos dog and my other friend had dollos and I tried both and those two skis were the flexiest and softest skis I had ever ridden

Original line EP's or Hellbents. The full rocker just exaggerates the softness

There are a lot of super soft skis, like blends, honey badgers and new chronics. Even older candide 2s were like wet noodles after a season or so of beating them up. Haven't skied any vishnus myself so can't say anything about them.
For me the blends feel by far softest I have used, because they have no bounce/pop/snap at all, they just bend and that's it. Other skis may be softer, but that lack of bounce back is something I've only felt with blends, making them feel the softest for me.
