Edollos good enough for freeriding?

Hi,
I got the 22/23 Edollos in 180.
This is the first Season that I really got into freeriding more. Now I’m not sure if it would make sense to buy another proper freeride Ski like the Völkl revolt 114, or is the Edollo gonna be enough. It’s pretty soft and also not that wide. Please let me now what you think.
Im tinking about buying another one because there are sales everywhere.

I mean they charge alright for a park ski, but def would not hold up on some terrain you’d find at like silverton or bridger bowl, you’ll also struggle in deep snow and punching front. Probably more worth ur time and money to just invest in a real freeride ski.

'good enough' maybe. Optimal? Definitely not. A center mounted full camber ski under 100mm would be one of my last choices for variable 'freeride' terrain.

Thank you. Would you say the k2 mindbender 108 ti would be a good Addition. I could get it for a very good Price. Or should I just go for a very wide 120ish ski. I ski in Austria and we don’t get Like Tons of Snow every year.

The mindbender is probably fine. If you don't get a ton of snow something 100-110 is probably the sweet spot. A lot of options aside from the mindbender too if you don't want a traditional mount point ski

Revolt 114 is on sale at evo. Don’t know if they’ll ship to Europe or how much it would cost.

yes and no. If its sharp it makes a surprisingly good freeride ski especially for spring conditions but I assume it's your park ski and all detuned for rails which is just gonna make it suck for any freeriding
