Hey everyone! I’m an advanced skier looking for a dedicated park ski for next season. I’m 5’8 185 lbs and I’m really looking for a super fun super lightweight and fairly soft park ski. I’d prefer a waist of 86-95, weight of 1700 g or less and length of 169-172. Mostly gonna be hitting rails boxes and smaller jumps. Any recs please let me know! Thanks!

I'd recommend a ski at least 175-177cm minimum, ideally 180ish. At your size with skis on the lighter end of the spectrum you'll overpower anything smaller.

The Deviation Ballistic is currently my favorite park ski I've ever ridden. ON3Ps are my second pick
