Both skis are good skis they have different +'s & -'s The salomon is pretty soft. Very easygoing on landing if you rae off balance. The P3 is more of a all mtn twin that works well in the pipe because of its bigger shape. Probably one of the stiffest park skis on the market.

i have the p3's, theyre really easy to flex so theyre fun but a little bit too soft on me, i have the 168's and im 5'3 and 125 lbs. i ski all park though so like 95 percent of the time its not much of a problem. and everything is still in pretty good condition but i think i only skiied on them like 10-15 days so far. good pop too because you can pack the tails real easily

Salomon twins are microcell cores that are milled out the closer you get to the tip or tail> This construction makes a SOFT playable ski that most skiers will like. If you really drive the ski hard on edge at speed tip and tail do not keep contact with the snow(CHATTER). The P3 is a wood core with carbon pretty damp and stable on edge. When tipped on edge at speed it provides a smooth stable ride with limited chatter. The p3 has more shape than the SPK depending on how much shape you like in your skis. If you carve into your 3's more shape + more energy if you take of pretty flat less shape is better. as far as landing goes less shape is always better.
