Early model EP Pros or Hellbents. It's like having a pair of floppy dicks strapped to your feet.

yeah pretty sure you arent gonna wanna listen to most of these kids. AR7's are certainly not one of the most buttery skis, never ridden filthy riches but they are listed as "medium flex", and as for domains they are probably k2's most buttery ski. so you may not wanna listen to some of these people. definitely K2 domains, Armada Thalls, Armada Halo's, Atomic Punx,

The most buttery park ski of all time is the Line Elizabeth, but good luck finding them.

Other candidates:
- K2 Domain (very soft with slight rocker)
- Line Traveling Circus (very soft with slight rocker)
- Line Afterbang (soft with traditional camber)
- Atomic Punx?
- Armada T-Hall?

Corrections: Not trying to be a dick, just getting rid of false information
Domains: Extremely soft, full rocker
TC: Quite soft with traditional camber
Afterbang was right
Punx: Medium-soft with traditional camber
THall: Pretty soft with traditional camber.

Nope.

Domains are zero camber under-foot with rocker in the tips, and TCs are cambered under-foot with early-rise in the tips.

Sure, correct me if I'm wrong. In this case, however, I was right and your corrections are wrong. Except for the Punx and T-Hall, thanks for providing more info about them! They're relatively unknown to me.

So to gather all the info:

- K2 Domain (very soft, zero camber with early rise in tips)
- Line Traveling Circus (very soft, traditional camber with early rise in tips)
- Line Afterbang (soft with traditional camber)
- Atomic Punx (medium-soft with traditional camber)
- Armada T-Hall (pretty soft with traditional camber.)

This is correct, the domain along with the press have k2's "jib rocker" with 0 camber underfoot. LTCs are early rise, matching nicely with the fatness of the ski

you are might wanna think about what you say. The K2 domains are very soft in my opinion. My friend has them and i crush them. that might be because I dont have a very soft ski and it feel soft to me, but You say that Thalls are buttery, and according to my friend out in PC, they are soft, but not buttery, which is a weird feeling.

I'm a minnesota rider as well and I have thalls and I love em. You can butter those things all day long. Have ridden punx and imo they were a tad softer and I thought the ARV's were noticeably softer. Don't know your budget but hope this helps. Op just wondering, but where do you ride?

The 2012 TCs have no early rise. They are full traditional camber and fairly soft, not elizabeth soft but soft.

The most buttery pure park ski out at the moment is the Domain. The most buttery ski out full stop (not including full rocker pow skis etc) is the Line Blend.

Seriously? Both the Line Skis site and Backcountry.com say they have early rise.

Yep, but the 2013 has early rise. I am currently riding the 2012 model and they are regular camber. The Line site also says they have a sintered base and they don't.

12/13 TC has no early rise, 13/14 TC is due to have early rise. Sorry for the confusion. I am currently riding this years model of TC and Blend.

Wow, and no sintered base either? That is a HUGE screwup by Line. I thought about getting them as funny jib skis at some point, man I would be so pissed to find out they have an extruded base.
