i have made way too many threads like this but heres another anyways.

i want a fat park/all-mountain ski. i would want 170-176 and 92-110 ish underfoot. also want it to be light (low swing weight) and stiff enough to hold an edge well but still poppy. ive thought about armada ARVs but i might want something geared a little more towards the park

sparknotes- want fat, light weight, stiff-enough-to-hold-an-edge-on-ice-but-still-poppy park ski

thanks ns

yeah i have considered lizzies, fujas, jeronimos, and patents along with ARVs. which of those 5 skis is the lightest? and will lizzies do well as far as holding an edge and carving even though they are soft? also if anyone has skied a few of these, can you rate them 1-10 how soft they are?

i have also considered surface watchlifes but i want something that is durable enough to last me a few years. i am pretty hard on my skis. that is why armada is at the top of my list right now.

atomic patents=4/10 for softness(1 being a pool noodle 10 being a plank of wood) i am 6 foot 3 and 235 lbs and the patents were great all mountain and on medium sized jumps. did surprisingly well for a symetrical ski all mountain

line blends. 100 underfoot and stiffer so you can still hold an edge. i use mine mainly in the park and love them but i do use them in powder when i dont have my other skis with me.

holy moley just go buy the lizzies now. if you're worried about them not holding an edge don't. i have them and with their small (15m?) turn radius they kill groomers. such a fun ski you won't be disappointed

yea i found all the weights and lizzies and jeronimos are the same weight and pretty light so im between those two but leaning more towards lizzies cuz theres no rocker which would be better for carving i imagine
