Hey guys what's a pretty buttery ski that can still handle some nice size jumps, 20-40 or so? I am 5'11, about 170 lbs. +k for actual help!

well i would guess a rockered ski so it can butter but still be stiff underfoot, like alpha 1, k2 domains, moment rocker, stuff like that

K2 Domain is really fun to butter and can still handle the jumps you want to hit. I would say Afterbangs, but I honestly hated them on jumps...couldn't clear them to save my life, but when I used another ski on the same jump I'd be fine. LTEs are pretty soft and handle jumps quite nicely too. THalls are another option, not quite as buttery as the Domain, but still fun.

probably abangs (check out max hills videos how much he butters) or the old invaders. urban punx from a few years back were really soft as well.

Get some Atomic punx in a 182, they are nice and buttery. With your weight they'll be perfect for you.

one of the best butterers would have to be the Salomon Twenty Twelve.
