I am looking for a PARK SKI with a ROCKER/ CAMBER profile. MID-FLEX for BUTTERS but still be able to hit medium sized jumps without it flexing in your face.

I am 5'8 and WEIGH 64kg. AN Ex racer so i am a pretty good skier. I am ENGLISH (UK) and my PARK SKILL level is AVERAGE. BUGET is irreverent. ANY ADVICE ????

I would recommend Armada Al Dente's but they might be a bit wide. All about preference.

Alright the new 1.0 and FRs are very different to SRs and blends. The first 2 are medium flexing symmetrical skis for someone who spends all of their time in the park. The next two are very soft wider skis that can be taken for all mtn use as well as park. Your profile says you ski in England, so you don't need a fat ski, but since you ski a bit of all mountain I would not go for a symmetrical park ski.

The new 14/15 nordica OMW would be perfect for you. 89mm underfoot, slight tip and tail rise, asymmetrical shape, and a medium flex. Nordica has also revamped them to be even more durable than it was before, and they make a quality product. It would be a great park ski with some all mtn potential.
