Help finding new park skis

Hey I’m a park skier and this season I want to get new skis I was wondering if anyone could recommend some specific ones based on my criteria. My current skis are very stiff and I don’t like that so I’m looking for softer skis that can easily butter and are good for rails and also good for jumps too. I really like on3p and armada so those brands are preferred. Any suggestions?

ARV 86 or 96, Edollos can’t go wrong with any of those three

@BrightFrog I'm new here, looking to buy skis and would like to buy American if possible (though it's not at all a must). Just curious why you say that abou on3p? Too stiff?

There’s really nothing wrong with on3ps, despite his name brightfrog just isn’t very bright.

Yeah he loves to shit on ON3P because he thinks it makes him cool since the vast majority knows that Scott and the team make insanely good skis. Don’t listen to him.

ON3Ps are super durable and have a ton of energy but they’re not soft and they are hard to truly butter. Most people butter them by just leaning in to the rocker rather than truly bending the skis. That being said, once you learn how to butter on skis like that you can butter anything. Check out the Mango 100 when it comes out, or the Crushin Cans which is on their website now. Those have a bit rounder flex profile than the Jeffrey series and are wicked nice for park.

once again I vouch for chronics. They are pretty easy to butter and very fun and surfy ski. Great for some midwest tree skiing and park laps

Im pretty sure I'm holding out for the new Mangos once they drop. Sounds like you should do the same. To others, i have Jeff 108s which i honestly love in the park. Should I get Mangos in 90 or 100 width?
