Im looking for a pow/park ski that is soft and has reversed camber. Simple as that!
I have my mind set on some but still trying to find that perfect ski for me.
Any Ideas?

Thanks

surface one life so fun for all around pow and park, 3 stage rocker is the tits, 140/112/132 bit wide for park but trust me it can be used for it. also these skis have so much pop in pow it is simple amazing.

Its going to be hard to find a ski that excels at park with reverse camber, as opposed to getting a ski that has little to no camber underfoot, much like the JJ.

No reverse camber ski is gonna be good at park. I'd go with something with either a flat profile or a little bit of camber. Not necessarily soft, but maybe check out the Chopsticks and the New Life. The New Life is amazing anywhere in or out of bounds.

i've seen and was almost run into by someone on pontoons in the park. OP, are you looking for full reverse or rockered with camber underfoot?

Gink I rocked SFRs for park the latter half of last season and am fully intent on using my opus for such as well..(probably not rails).....but I have def seen a trend toward wider skis for park...nudge-wink....I actually saw a younger chick on pandoras rippin park....she wasn't super tech but no booshit this little chick was skyin like double high compared to all the guy park rats....it was pretty impressive...and nearly all my buds are talkin about wider park skis....somethin to think about.

Used to pretty much ski a Caylor all day every day, but after getting a few good laps in our our new Jeffrey, I'm a convert to a slightly slimmer waist (108mm instead of 120). Already rocking out to wide skis all day erry day.
