Hello NSers, I've been wanting a pair of fat park skis and can't really decide what a good ski would be. I found two (line blend and surface watchlife) but looking for a little over 100 underfoot with rocker.

+k for opinions and/or other brands f skis

ON3P makes sick skis (I am obsessed with my FRs)
I haven;t ridden the Jeffreys but I would assume that they are amazing

I love my Fat-ypuss L-toros as well. 101 in the waist, soft, rockered in the tip and tail, super playful. I've only ridden them in park so far ad I've got to say they are wonderful. Can;t wait to get them in some fresh in a few weeks.

i know all the park instructors at stratton are either on scimitars or scratchs. I would do the scimitars, so light, and only $275. I personally use the scratch for hard pack days and sickles (110mm underfoot) for other days.

I just picked up some Scimitars for my all mountain/park needs, and they're pretty fun skis to float around on. You also can't go wrong with anything from ON3P now

If you want to be a true baller get the atomic thug skis, 120 underfoot.

this is the only place that i know for sure sells them.

I currently have Line Blends and had Bacons as a park ski for the whole of last season. The difference between the two in the park is minimal to be honest, I'd just go for the cheaper one. Fujas are similar too, just heavier and a bit deader feeling.

Lizzies, if you can find a pair, send it. They are ridiculously fun, can be a little short but you get used to it. I am skiing on a 186 S3 this year and so far they are crazy fun. this years bacon would be a really fun wide park ski.

I am skiing 4frnt YLEs all over the mountain this year. From what I can tell, they are AWESOME on jumps (super stable and a stiff, poppy flex to not wash out and provide pop) but I haven't tried em out on rails yet, might be a bit awkward at first. Wiley skis them in the park I believe.

I ski the Moment night trains for everything I do.

123 underfoot and I ski with a +2 forward mount. But that's just me and I'm whack as fuck...

Thankfully you dont really need healthy edges or bases on pow skis
