Otw out to jackson hole rn and doing a ski demo because i am wildly unprepared as far as skis go. If anyone has any recs from this list on a midfat- wide ski that is soft and surfy let me know— will have line chronics with me for the park. Thanks Fellas

Kore 99
Bentchetler 100
and QST 98 would be my picks

Yeah corbets is soo easy. I did it on my first try with no practice or warmup. It was actually the first time I landed my signature trick where you pop out of your skis and cruise down the gulley on you back with mad sty

I would recommend doing a little research on mogul skis if you plan on really tearing up Corbet's.

corbets was closed so i blew out my knee on a 5 foot or so cliff drop right into a 2 foot tall tree that you couldn’t see before you were in the air. on the bright side i think i laced up my first dub 5 on my way to landing on my head (thanks mips)
