I am looking for an all mountain ski that is very good in the park.

I am 5ft 8in, 125lbs, live in the Midwest, and ride mostly park.

I'm looking for a ski no more then 2000grams and no wider then 105

some ski I’ve look at are the faction prodigy 2.0 and the surface giver.
Please recommend a ski. Any and all suggestions are welcome

If you’re a Midwest skier don’t kid yourself and get something like line chronics, arv 86s, wets, dictators, ct 1.0, volkl revolt 86/87 etc.the wider you go the more you’ll sacrifice all mountain for Midwest conditions

Why are you so concerned about weight? 100-200 grams is not going to be enough to dictate park ski choice unless you’re impossibly frail. With a center/close to center mount you wouldn’t be able to feel that difference, again unless you’re weak as hell.

This dude is a waif...he weighs half as much as you do I think?

OP check out the 4frnt Switch, ARV 86 is pretty light. There are others I'm not thinking about rn.

Make sure not to skimp on bindings to save weight, the lightest you'll want are probably Attack 13s or 14s. Don't buy Squires or Attack 11s to save weight, better to get a lighter ski.

I'm also 5'8 130 lbs and really enjoyed skiing my line chronics. They delaminated probably because of too many hard landings but as an all-mountain ski they were great. I'm pretty ass at park so can't speak on their performance on rails but they felt pretty decent landing jumps up to 60ft
