I want a really soft and flexible ski to play around in but i barely even get pow days so they need to be good for park. Is there a ski like this?

I've got some pretty beat up 175 ARV's which are super soft and so much fun to butter on that I'd let go for cheap. They're light and really good in the park.

Fujative/Invader = you can find for just under 200
Thalls
ARV
Thruster

All super soft and fun, ARV is a little wider though

^he said he doesnt get many pow days, so that rules out the elizabeth. i would get the fujative if i were you, you can buy them new with a binding for about 300.

^seems kinda weird to use a ski with a 110 waist as a pure park ski. but whatever floats your boat.

this years maybe, but past years models have been soft (especially once broken in)  and if you look around you can find some killer deals on last years skis.

ARVs are the softest ski on the market, or at least last years were.

Correct me if I'm wrong, he asked for a SOFT park ski, aren't the T-Halls really stiff?

It depends on you. If you are really heavy, I wouldn't go for a really soft ski. I'm personally VERY lightweight, and I'm buing the Armada T-Hall.

Fujatives or Line Invaders. Skiing my brother's Invaders, I found they were really lively and butter unbelievably. You have to keep them waxed though, because the base isn't sintered (at least not on the 06-7s) so they don't slide very fast. Plus symmetrical sidecut is soooooo good switch and will be better for all mountain than a non symmetrical center mounted ski. Fujatives are more durable thoguh, but also more expensive.
