The "best butter skis" would be something more like an invader or anthem thats really soft and has the "butter zones" in the tip and tail rather than something like the PE with is more of an all mountain park ski. The Fugitives are supposed to be pretty buttery. Ive heard on here that the STL's are pretty good for butters aswell.

trouble makers have never been known for their durable edges... but i guess they have fixed that problem. TM's are a mid flex ski though... everyone says they kill in the park

i rode TMs this year and they are a lot stiffer at first but get softer. Their flex still doesn't compare to how soft the fujatives are. Fujis = softest ski i've ever ridden.

Something with rocker, I'd have to say EPs because not only are they rockered but they are also about the softest ski on the market

pe's are not buttery. tm's are most likely going to be a lot more buttery.

trouble makers are good for butters once you get the hang of it, the flex helps you get all the way out onto your tips. watch rainville's seg in yearbook or wicked for reference.
