I am currently trying to find a good park ski that is buttery, light, and not full rocker.

I have always ridden on line skis for the past 4 or 5 years, and i have always loved them! I had 2 pairs of afterbangs and a pair of invaders. However i wanted to see some other brands underneath my feet.

There is just something about full rocker skis that i dont like, but i have been researching on camber skis with rocker tips and im willing to give it a shot.

The skis i was currently looking at was the 2013 Volkl Ledges, and they seem cool and great for park, but if anyone has any suggestions or things to look out for thatd be awesome if you would share your knowledge with me!

Give me your favorite type of ski and why and i would really appreciate everyones input!

NS hasn't failed me yet with help on gear so i trust your guys' input greatly. Thanks so much guys

The Armada Thall sounds like a good ski for you, pretty soft, and its a fully cambered ski. I have the Ar7, which has the same shape and I love it! great ski .

Not really a stiff ski kind of guy, my afterbangs were perfect, they just got too small and i dont like this years graphics so i want to try something new, but not stiff. I will check out armadas though

I know you said your trying to get away from line but i have the blends and they are fucking awesome! If your looking for a buttery ski this is where its at. But they are not completely made for park, i usually ride about 70/30 (park/all mountain) but i have seen plenty of people use them just in the park. But they are super playful and buttery i love them!

Clicks are super easy to break. I would say maybe the atomic punx or Elan puzzles TBT are super flexy and are great for buttering. hit me up for info about the puzzle.

check out Slant skis! theyre a bit expensive but they last and are pretty soft but still stable on big jumps, plus you can even pick from a variety of graphics

Presters are a full camber, ultra stiff, high performance park ski made for hitting big features/ skiing in comps. If OP is looking for a playful jib ski, filthy riches or jeronimos would be a much better call (from on3p at least).
