Looking for some new skis for next year. I ski about 80% park and 20% pow so I'm looking for a playful, buttery park ski...Any thoughts??

salomon 2012's,

i skied park and pow in them, super fun in park, lightweight, (more durable than suspects) near the end of the season mine got alot softer and butters are so fun and easy on them,

and i skied  pow with them and it amazed me how well they worked. they just floated it was sick. id recomend them.

Moment Rockers, I haven't ridden them, but they supposed to be soft, and they also have early rise and a 92mm waist so they could handle the occasional pow day.

i had afterbangs last year and just got domains (couldnt get to rode them) but i can talk for after bangs; they're really fun skis, even for me (im like 130 pounds) either way u get a fun ski, but if u want the better playful ski get the domains

yeah I like line ok. I wish they were more durable and made slightly lighter park skis. But yeah. I like fooling around on my anthems, but I think I'm going to get some lighter, stiffer skis for next season like reno jibs or something. Just a bit more stable. But I was mainly commenting on lines habit of having noodly fun park skis.

They're very similar. Domains are just softer flexing, and symmetrical. Revivals are stiffer and slightly asymmetrical. Most of their pros use the revivals because they're more of a stiff, competition level ski, but domains are still sick

domains are gonna be softer more playful, but revivals are gonna be the more all mountain ski and is going to be better on jumps than the domains, it all depends on what you want. Personally i like skis that are a little more stiff for jumps, but if you want a super buttery ski than the domains are the way to go.

I think the revivals will be a better choice, they can do more than just slay the park, they can do everything the domain can do and more thats my opinion

rossignol s3's 124.2/98/114.4 these skis are the shit the biggest jump that i hit with them was about 65ish ft and they held up fine. they are very buttery and have tons of pop! i made a trip up to VT and we got 1ft of freshies these things rip in the pow the float is amazing. only problem i had with them was i got some edge cracks.
