My skis are delaminating so I need some new ones. I'd like them to be wide and buttery so am thinking about edollos. Just wondering if there are age any other models I shud be considering

I haven't ridden them, but i hear the line blends are pretty soft in the tip and tail and they are 100 under foot. Also the da'nollies from icelantic

Edollos got paper thin edges so they arent very durable.
I would look icelantic da'nollies and Revision Talismans

the edollos are super not durable, the edges are crap. Something like the line blend or TC might be suitable tho

fat-ypus l'toro perhaps? I haven't ridden them personally, but I'm sure they'd rip!

A lot of people like wide park skis. It's just personal preference. Some people fing them easier to balance on and more stable than narrower skis. keep in mind they are just wide park skis(95-106mm) not pow skis

I'd go Line Bl3nds, Ic3lantic Da Nolli3s, and R3vision Talisman. The Da Nolli3 will be the softest out of the thr33 I'd say

Nordica soul riders. Also they're not that soft, but Icelantic Nomads are pretty wide and they have a nice medium flex.

L-toros are super light and pretty flexy, and at 101 underfoot its a decently wide park ski, they can rip everything, highly reccomend

If you're going the Line route, I would go with TC's. The 2013 and 2014 models along with the anthems are the exact same. I own a pair of the 2015 TC's and they made them a bit wider and more buttery than in previous years, although they don't have a symmetric shape anymore.

The would definetly go with line blends they are ultra buttery and perfect for the whole mountain. Ive had a pair for 2 seasons and they are holding up so well and are so soft once they are broken in. You could go for the tc's but the blends are wider and better for the whole mountain.

Blends would be great also, especially if you want more of a one ski quiver that can also rip in powder. They are 100mm underfoot, so if you're looking for a little bit narrower ski, then the TC's would do it. The blends are built basically the exact same way as the chronics, just wider. They do become pretty flexible after a while of breaking them in.

Ya but if your going to go as narrow as the TC's you might as well get armada halo 2's being as you were interested in edollos and they are practically the same flex pattern.
