Armada Pipe Cleaner, Rossignol S4 jib, K2 revival: rocker makes it a lil more forgiving....., all super durable and generally stiff / poppy

Volkl Walls are proper stiff! They are built pretty much bulletproof too. I would recommend :)

don't get revivals, once they break in they are super super soft and dead feeling. Check out the fisher addicts or the moment reno jibs.

built well yes, but far from bulletproof, my buddy has made his almost un usable after a season and a half of relatively moderate park riding

now head skis are bullet proof, sure it feels like you are skiing on cinderblocks, but damn if they won't last you 10 years haha

i've skied both, they are plenty stiff. And if someone like jacob wester is hitting 90+ foot jumps throwing dub 14s on them, then they are plenty stiff for the OP

I wouldnt know, i didn't know that they changed. i remember my reno jibs were mega fun and pretty stiff. That was the 0809 version though.

Rossignol S4 jibs, hold up rally well and not flexy at all.

The ar7's arent stiff per say. But they are great for ripping around steeps and ice. So a ski doesn't just need to be stiff to be able to rail. I love my ar7's. Just .02

I agree I rode the walls and loved them but the edge is splitting after about thirty days of riding so not the best durability but still beefy strong ski.

If you want new skis within a few days, get these shitty ass skis. They aren't that stiff.
