My favorite is camber because I ski on hard pack and pure park skiing. It gives me the most pop an best skills in rails and small kickers

I like the Armada TST shape because it has a lot of early rise on the tip and no early rise on the tail. This makes it so you don't back-slap as easily.

Rocker chamber rocker. Makes for a super fun ski, pretty playful and gives enough pop

Flat camber with huge rocker in the tips and tails, so I don't ever need to jump. I just go fast enough that my tips start flapping really hard, and then I fly around.

I ski on fairly fat (111 under foot) big mountain skis. The rocker isn't very steep, but it's super long, starts maybe 6" from the top of my bindings. They are my skis for everything because in the deep pow they float really well, and in the crud the rocker just sucks up everything. If I wanted to, and I had knees of steel I could just sit back and straightline a fairly bumpy hardpack run and just let my skis take all the shock. I don't ski park at all, but they're fairly heavy and don't have much flex so probably wouldn't be the best in the park.

185cm gradual tip and tail rocker 95cm flat/minor camber. minimal sidecut/narrow tips and tails. 27m turning radius. 110-115mm waist, tips no wider than 135mm. that would be my everyday park/mountain ski.

stop ripping on tbk_skis, the penis shaped skis are great in and out of the park, they also come with a free dildo.

2 free dildos made to mount on your heelpieces, thus making penetration easier

They also act like those little rubber ends on baseball bats, soaking up chatter and bumps to make every run buttery smooth.
