First off, I am 162 cm (sorry) big I weigh around 55 kilos (sorry again). I ski pow when I can and otherwise park (like 50 50), but I still like to have fun all around the mountain and find the park outside the park. I'm looking for a soft ski for dem butterz, around 100 cm waist, that's pretty cool in powder, but still does well in the park (rails!). I've looked at those skis: Line Blend, Nordica Soul Rider and K2 Kung Fujas. NS what can you tell me about those skis or do you have some other options for me? I hope someone of you can help me and of course mad karmaz for you

I think 162 is about 5'3 and 55 kilos is about 121 pounds. Buttery skis are all of those that you've mentioned, plus Line Traveling Circus, Armada ARV (2012-13), Armada Al Dente, THalls, AR7 and probably a few others I'm missing. If you say you like going between pow and park, a good ski would be something wider. The Al Dentes are pretty wide, but they're expensive as shit. The ARV's aren't bad on width, and are relatively affordable. A lot of those skis are similar so you could just look at some durability reviews, graphics and price and I'm sure most of those would fit your needs pretty well. Hope this helps.

My vote is for kung fujas (sheditor 102 now) or line blends.

I'd love them, but I guess they're pretty hard to get in Europe

Shreditor 102 would be good for you. Idk if ON3P ships outside US but if they do definitely check out the Jeronimo.

Nomads, Gotamas and Helixes are all great skis, but are also pretty stiff, and I know you want a soft ski. Faction Soma would be perfect but a little too skinny, so go with the Faction Prodigy, same construction, 98mm waist. Other I would recommend would be Moment PB&J, K2 Shreditor 102, Nordica SR, and maybe Salomon rocker2 100 (coming this fall).

We've already established that they don't make skis that wide!

Solid response! Thanks I'll check em out.
