Well its the end of the season and I've already been thinking about new skis to work for over the summer.  I have Ar6s at the moment, but i want something a little softer so I can butter more easily, but stiff enough to still be able to handle decent sized jumps (35-40ft).  Im 5'6" 130lbs so im a small guy.  I'm looking for something light, and poppy and somewhat bombproof.  Right now I'm looking at either the Moment Reno Jibs, Moment Reno Rockers, and the Line Anthems as possible candidates.  But I'm looking for more suggestions.  Let em fly.

Atomic punx! sounds exactly like what you want. Or check out Amplids anti-dogma when i met tom wallisch he was riding them and he said they are buttery light and poppy but slighty stiffer then say an ar-6 and a punx is softer then an ar-6.

You should take a look at the 09 K2 Disorderly's on Jibij.com.  They are supposed to be similar to Anthems, but a little stiffer I think, and they're symmetrical, which is better than poop directional everyone makes.

I would go with punx they are soft and def can handle big kickers like bigger then your talkiing about jossi wells rides them in pipe and slopestyle. Theyre not gunna fall apart like a line and its a light ass ski. K2s are heavy btw.

Any other suggestions?  My shop had some Punx earlier on in the season, so i might go check those out if they are still there.

what about the new fuji's

are they called king fuja's, i thing they are a bit wider than fuji's (95 mm underfoot rings a bell) but they are likely to be super soft
