Most "carvable" freestyle oriented ski

Hey guys,

what do you think is the most "carvable" twin tip?
I am looking for a stable ski that i can push for some nice carving turns but at the same time be able to do some playful runs and side hits.

What would you go for?

My main ski is currently an enforcer 104 unlimited with a shift and i am looking for something for the days when i for sure stay mostly in bounds and without fresh snow for a marker griffon that i have left over.

Thanks for recommendations!!

Thinking about another enforcer 88 maybe..

Black Crows' Mirus Cor ticks all your boxes.
87 underfoot, 13m turn radius, titanial underfoot, twintip, plus a lil swallowtail action for style points.

I found Skiessentials' big comparison videos to be the most helpful when I was trying to find a midfat allmtn/park ski. I ended up with k2 poachers because I got them on closeout. Loving them so far.
80+ underfoot skis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3m4xw2UP5k
90+ underfoot skis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sil7jNpON44

So many brands have allmtn twin tip options out right now, there's no shortage of skis to choose from.
Some options you might find appealing:
Armada Stranger
Season Kin
Line Sick Day 88
Line Blade
Volkl Revolt 95
Faction Prodigy 1.0 / 2.0
Armada ARV 86 / 96
K2 Poacher
Line Chronic
Nordica Unleashed 90
Surface Sniper
Head Oblivion 84 / 94
JSkis Joyride
I'm probably not even scratching the surface here.

Lime chronic is a park ski that happens to be “skiable” across the mountain. Would not suggest if carving is the focus.

Revolt 95 actually isn’t bad since the core has some similarities with kendo minus the metals, etc.

Cheers man, good shout.
To clarify, that list definitely ranges between legit park sticks and carving skis with park tendencies, just giving as many options off the top that I could think of for op to check out.

well, I'd say the stiffest, most cambered and less rockered. Fischer Nightstick comes in mind. I'd say pipe-oriented skis might be what you are looking for

Season Aero is made to rip groomers. It’s as close to a freestyle carving ski that I could find, and they are no joke.

Misfit skis, they are super soft and fun, but they carve better than my black crows, and supposedly are built like a slalom ski. I feel like a racer and a park rat at the same time on them

You should
It’s just crazy how well they hold turns, far better than any other freestyle ski I’ve ever tried.

Even the 185 is too weak? Was interested in getting a pair but don't think I could justify the price with any sort of doubts.

Ngl I took my Vishnu Keys out for its first run, didn’t detune them just to see what it was like.. now I kinda wanna leave them sharp. They’re amazing at carving, pick up speed hella fast, and are light enough to jump around with. I think I’m going to keep them sharp and use them as my speed demon ski instead of a park ski like I’d originally planned

I just picked up some season kins, not mounted yet so i have not skied them but boy I am excited. 15m turning radius is going to be snappy.

An oddball ski I will throw in the mix is the Wagner custom "steamboat ski" they are really similar to the kin but with a narrower tail. I skied them for about 5 years and they are shot from rails but still hold up well enough to have fun on a slushy day.

ON3P Jeffery 102. Unlike a lot of other park style skis, it has enough stiffness to hookup and hold an edge at high speeds.

Line sir francis bacons, had the 2019 model. Never had so much fun in the slopes just carving. Very playful and light ski, nice for jibbing and jumping, not for rails though. Wish I could find something similar, now I have 102 reckoners and they feel like 2x4 after sfb.
