Everyone is going to have a different opinion towards what a perfect park ski entails. There is no one answer.

This thread, because it is dildos, and dildos are the perfect park ski.

a ski with maybe 5 mm of camber under food just for a little edge control, but fully rockered tip and tail symetrical 118-88-118 in a 186-190 length...Super buttery, as noodly and poppy as possible. AKA- the reno jib

pop, will be his answer, cambered skis are generally more poppy because you are basically assisted by giant springs on your feet when you go to pop...

SnowSafetywhy full camber?



its just what i prefer. main reason is i feel like it offers more support is i get to far forward or back. also i find it more poppy and lively but it may just be the selection of skis I've tried.

I agree with you! Just wondering, I was debating getting the Filthy Riches as there is quite a bit of rocker in the ski. However I ended up recently pick up Surface Lab 002's (Full Camber)

a perfectly symmetrical ski with all camber and super strong bases. Also a mix between a soft and hard edge that wouldn't crack

for me its the Fation Silas. Its solid under foot, but is flexy in the tips. Its stiff enough to carve and plow through crud, but it jibs well.

Also, its on sale for $339 at

Either k2 recoil or icelantic nomad rkr skny.

K2 recoil is your typical camber park ski for comp skiers and those who like a poppy clean looks to their skiing. This is by far my favorite design theyve made and i wish i copped a pair.




The other side of the spectrum is a rockered park ski for a more flowy buttery style. These are the skis i rode this year and they were unreal. funnest ski ive ridden by miles.

97 waist, heavy rocker in tip and tail, camber under foot. theyd be super fun to mess around on, yet could still land a jump if you had to

I agree 100% with everything you just said, there will never be a consensus on the matter, but T-Halls are the best ski ever so I don't need the rest of you to agree.

90mm waist carbon fiber ski with just a little bit of camber, early rise, and a good amount of sidecut.

100% symmetrical, really stable underfoot but buttery towards tip and tails, fat edges that won't catch or break, slight rocker at both ends, and like rather on the skinny side, lets say 91mm at 1.64m... yes I'm small, that's why I'd love to have these dimensions...

basically a modified Scott Jib TW... it's pretty skinny, but almost too skinny, almost symmetrical, has slight nose rocker, is a stable ski but buttery in the nose and tails, and the edges hold up pretty good, but the ski only comes in 1.58 and 1.68, one too short one too big haha
