Playful skis

Hello, looking for new park dedicated ski.

I had ridden all mountain skis, that are to stiff and heavy so I’m looking for something more lightweight, softer and playful.

I’m 195cm and about 115kg
thinking about bdogs, wets, blends or reckoners, but any other recommendations are appreciated!
I would prefer something that will hold for at least 2-3 winters in good condition.

Thanks a lot

wets are super playful and super light. ngl i dont think any park ski lasts 2-3 seasons, unless someone has any recommendations

At your size I'd be worried about going too soft. ON3P Jeffries are playful but still kinda stiff and are up to 191 long. They also last a long time
Volkl revolts are also robust, come in a bunch of widths, and are up to 191 long

Jeffrey 100s in 191. I'm close to your size, and I have zero issues getting the Jeffs to be playful. Really nice flex and rocker profiles. Enough backbone to rip on, but still very very very buttery. Also well known for being durable skis.

If you have the money and really want some noodly skis, you could custom order them in the soft flex, but at 115kg, the normal flex is the sweet spot IMO.
