sup NSers, its time to ask for your help.

firstly about me, 6 foot 1 tall 160 lb, aggressive park/BC skier. i love skiing around the whole mountain and using the mountain as a park. butters, presses, bonks, drops, trees, chutes, rails etc. im not the one who stays in park all day or only goes to the bc. i ski groomers, then park laps, then powder.

since i have 182 punx as a park ski and 189 hellbents 09/10 models as a pow ski i need something that is more diverse.

the options im looking at right now are:

Blogs

One lifes

SFBs


yeah underfoot they should be around 110mm. i need something light to throw around on bc kickers, since i find my hellbents to heavy for that, having skiid punx for so long...

im also looking into something a little more stiff since my other two skis are rather noodly.

now i need your opinions on those skis. possibly also others, but those three, the one life especially, i could get for cheap.

thx in advance and a snowy winter to you all

I have the Live Life 2's and I absolutely love them. Right now it is my only ski and I use it for everything. Their so much fun and pretty playful for how stiff they are.

yea got the sfb on my list. just want people who have actually ridden some of these skis to compare them with another in terms of liveliness, butterability and playfulnes.

it should hold up in the park and going and landing switch i.e. fairly symmetrical.
