G-Butter vs Blue Steele

I'm trying to find good pure park ski, so all mountain performance doesn't matter. I ski mainly at COP, which has a good park, but is that only. I prefer a park ski I can butter on, is good on rails and can handle jumps over 30 feet. I am 5'3 or 5'4 and 130. I mainly do rails but am going to focus on jumps more this year.

i haven't tried either of these skis, but both of the companies have good reputations. i do ride a pair of ON3P skis and i strongly recommend them. they have some of the beefiest bases and edges in the industry, so they will have great durability on rails. from what i have heard, the bs's are very poppy, and a great park ski. plus they have early rise in the tip and tail.

while i would personally go with ON3P because of my experiences with them in the past, you will like both of these skis

The G-Butter is regular camber and very soft, the Blue Steele is rockered in the tip and tail and fairly stiff. The skis aren't similar at all, so pick the one that fits your style better.

I know they aren't similar, I know the bs is good on jumps, are the g-butters?

The bs is the best park ski I have ever ridden, hands down.

this. they are exactly what i would want in a ski, but that's not to say they'll be exactly what you want.

however, the full symmetry, camber underfoot, and early rise slay like none other.

g butters are definitely not extremely soft. its a medium flex, more on the side of stiff if anything. but still soft enough to be able to butter and stuff. very poppy and awesome for jumps, super light, and extremely durable. its one of my favorite park ski's.
