Im 5'9" 140. Looking for 100 percent park ski. around 170. maybe a little shorter. I want a really loose buttery ski. I have a really stiff ski right now and dont like it as much as my more buttery skis of old. I think i want some thing that has alternative camber. So will the Traveling Circus have alternative camber? So NS which ski?
+k for help

Not sure what alternative camber is but the traveling circus ski is the anthem, which has traditional camber

Ok thanks.
By alternative camber i mean pretty much anything other then traditional. so early rise with camber under foot, early rise flat under foot, ect.

TCs are normal camber. I'm actually kind of stoked on these after looking at them. They're the Anthems, but with a faster sintered base. Hopefully they're a bit lighter as well.

That'd be sweet. The extruded base is the only thing I don't like about anthems

I don't know how many skis you've had, but don't be too quick to dismiss regular camber. I've had different rockered skis, and nothing beats a ton of camber for me

The Halo seems to hit spot on what you're looking for then. A great, buttery, durable ski with their park rocker.

Yeah the Halo sounds like a perfect choice for what you want. I just got them and i love em. Very buttery and stable. Love the park rocker too.

Yeah it says sintered on their site. It says the weight is 1950 (grams I think) in the 178 length. Don't know how this compares to the old ones. Hopefully a bit lighter.
