So after 2.5 seasons of beating the shit out of one pair of skis, its finally time for me to buy new ones. After doing research on new park skis, I narrowed it down to 3 pairs, the 2.0s, soul rider, and Da'nollie but can't decide between them. Which of these skis is the most: versatile, soft (but not to the point of being a noodle), and durable?

Any real difference (besides topsheet) between the 14/15 da'nollies and the 15/16's?

none. same ski different graphics.
The Factions are gonna charge more in pow and variable conditions, the Soul rider can ski some mountain and charge (a little less than the factions) but is better for park, and the Da Nollie is a lot more for park than the mountain, but is good for like a trip out west once year.

Personally I couldn't tell you, The soul Riders are a medium flex but can butter fairly well from what I've heard. Honestly i'd go with the soul rider, but I couldn't tell you how durable they are compared to the Factions and Da Nollies. I don't know a lot about Nordica durability, but I can tell you Icelantics is fantastic and Faction is almost just as good
