so ive been looking at so many park skis for the season and cant pick what i want. I was looking at armada, Volkl, Filthy riches and the infamous and honestly have no idea what to pick.
for the past 2 years i had the thalls and loved them so probably want something similar.
Im looking for a ski that is soft in the tip and tale but still have a lot of pop.
I like that fact that the infamous and FRs have a bit more rocker then other skis ive skied but not sure if thats what i want.
any suggestions or help would be sick cause all these skis sound pretty great, i guess i just need someone to make the decision for me.

softer than ar7's, not much stiffer than t halls at all, actually softer throughout the ski just not in the tips.

I thought the infamous felt like a thall with more pop. It was nice and stable still and felt good carving. I thought it rode better then the thall switch as it is symmetrical but this did not effect the performance when not riding switch. Swing weight also felt lower to me. Overall I really like the infamous, defiantly one of the best park skis this season.

I would also take a look at the alpha 1 or halo, botht are the same exact design, but the alpha is stffer. Both have some rocker that is great for playfullness. They are a bit wider than the thal but preform exceptional!!!
