Just do what armada did when they first came out, and remake the scratch, then fine tune it in the later years

this is the program ive been using in my design process. if you need help understanding how to use it pm me. its designed for snowboards but you can do skis with it too. secondly check out skibuilders.com if you have not already.

generally for a park ski companies go with a straighter dimension. such as 117-90-105 for me ill be going around 130-85-115.

it all comes down to what you want out of the ski, more park= less shape, more carve=more shape

something with dimensions simular to the MSPs, but with STL flex...

181 cm - 122-92-112 the current MSP

175-180 cm - 120-95-120 - could be a sweet fatter jib ski

That would be a pretty sweet ski. Not too stiff, but not like invader or fujative soft so it washes out mad easy.

^ yeah it could still handle some turns, and maybe some pow too, and all around park specific ski i guess... if you only have room in your ski bag for one pair when you go out west.
