I need new skis, so far my ideas are the Halos, Moment Jibs, or the Filthy Riches (mostly because they are really liked on here haha)
Im looking for a pretty lightweight and bendy pair with as little swing weight as possble.

Sorta new to this so sorry if i messed up:)

Ski blades.
Super light, and, as far as flex goes, it's like most of the ski is non existent.

Halos, ARVs or the Al Dentes by Armada.
Line Afterbangs, Traveling Circus, not sure about the Blend.
Nordica Soul Riders!
Not sure about the K2 Press or Domain.

Halos would probably be good but i would look at the punx. They are very light and you can spin very easily. They are also flexy allowing you to butter with ease. A friend of mine snapped some moments... it was kind of his fault but i thought i would add that.

Go check out HG Skis. They make one model called the Electrics and they are the lightest and flexiest ski I have ever laid my hands on.

I"ve had about 8 days on them over the past couple months

Ski is everything I've ever wanted in the park: buttery, light, and poppy. they are fully symmetrical (even the graphics are) and they ski switch like a dream. i can't really speak for them out of the park as ive only ever ridden 3 skis and have no knowledge of the technical aspect of carving and such. they handle better in the powder than my suspects did, but this could just be because they are 14 cm longer and they are a tad wider.

For durability, everything is great but the topsheets. I care about my skis and don't bang them together on the lift and such, yet they have numerous chips in the topsheet and look like I've been skiing them for 2 seasons, but its just cosmetic so it shouldn't matter overall. I detuned the edges on the first day, and have no edge cracks.

Check out Rossi, everything they make is light. Nothing super bendy, almost everything has a medium flex. Scimitars will flex out really nicely after some use though.
