NegromancerWhat's more important than having soft flexy skis for buttering is having the right technique and having good boots.
Firstly make sure your boots fit you properly and have a reasonably firm flex, if they're to soft they're just going to fold when you flex into them and no power is going to be transferred into the ski. Also make sure you don't have major heel lift and that your foot is held in place.
When it comes to technique you actually have to really put a lot of effort into it and have a lot of strength. Put all your weight forwards or backwards, don't just half-ass it and do some shitty revert thing, actually put a lot of weight and pressure into the skis.
