Hey NS i am trying to find the bendiest ski there is. I am 5' 6" and around 120 lbs. I already have a pair of mtn skis and want a pair that are bendy as can be. I am not very heavy or tall so what would be really easy for me to use? Also i have been considering the ninthward henrik harlaut ski. I have line chronics and cannot butter easily. I also dont want to spend a ton so last years skis would be nice.

I would recommend Liberty Antigens. Very light, soft, rockered and have a bamboo core which I'm a big fan of. They butter like crazy, here I have a picture from two years ago

You can find them under $300. You'll have to wax them often though.

Other not very expensive buttery skis I can think of now - Atomic Punx 2012-13, K2 Domain/Press, Line Anthem/TC

Liberty uses cores that are like 10% bamboo. One could argue that with that ratio, it's more for marketing than actual performance.

Yes, but I find their skis soft and buttery nevertheless. Like the OP I was looking for a light buttery ski a few years ago. Tried many skis they called buttery and ended up liking the Antigens most.
