Currently riding the Majesty Vandal 175 for all mountain. Want to get 2 new pairs for next season as im gonna be skiing more often and various terrains.
Im looking for a ski that i can use for park and jibbing, would lovd it to be leightweight and playful.
The other pair should be 104-116 ish and i wanna use them offpiste and on pow days.

I like my skis generally on the softer side.

Looking forward to your choices.

Binding recommendations welcome

Anything from fatypus. the L-toro is 101mm and is probably the most fun skis I've ever ridden in the park. really natural flex to the skis and super lightweight. On the powder side of things, they have a ton of options. The m5 (106mm) and D'vice (110mm) are 5 point design and are super fun. Enough rocker to keep you floating but the 5 point design makes them super maneuverable. They also have other 5 point skis in different widths (102mm, 108mm and 114mm) but those two are probably the most versitile. if you're looking for more of a traditional shape then you could look into the d-sender. Definitely a longer radius ski, but super good in big open pow fields

l-toro is sweet. plus the dude who runs fatypus is a great guy. super small business but the quality is far superior to any mainstream brand. and they're running a sale so that's a plus

not last month but ok, also wtf do you mean hypocritical, why would he not want to look for skis a bit himself, he can actually choose a few and then ask about them. This way he wont just get spammed with random ski recommendations.
