Looking to snag a pair of park skis for next year, and wondering what you guys think.
Solidly intermediate park skier, expert everywhere else. looking to get better at jumps and rails, so really a little of everything.
I'm 20, 200lbs and 6'1'', got a pretty sick quiver already, so there will be used 90% in the park.
Current thoughts - Edollo, Bdog, Blend, etc.

If you want to get less than 2 weeks out of them get blends, not to sound like a broken record but wet+ could work or maybe even frankenskis

My guess is the b dogs might be a bit soft for you depending on if you’re just buttering everything you see or not. Jumps i imagine you’d appreciate the dollos stiffer tails and underfoot. I’d get the dollos

I’m the same height as you but like 30lbs lighter and don’t recommend getting anything shorter than 185cm. I’m pretty sure edollos and bdogs don’t come longer than 180cm.

The Blends come at 185cm, I had them for a few of weeks - until they broke. Even though they were some of the most fun skis I’ve ridden, I wouldn’t buy another pair.

*I have to add I’m not hating on Line, they make great skis.

Are you bumping threads to trash talk a ski? What did Frankenskis do to you?

Also weight in 172 is 1805g and 182 is 1998g, not terribly heavy, not light either but they are park skis and often heavier park skis are more durable.

If a 2kg ski is heavy you need to stop skipping legs
