I'm looking to buy a pair of wide park skis, ones that are flexible and wide and full twin tip, any suggestions?

The HG Stingers look rad as fuck IMO.

But also look towards the Armada Edollo, K2 Shreditor 102, Icelantic Da'nollie (now 95mm underfoot), Rossingol Slat (Personal favorite, not the most buttery but mad pop and really balanced flex).

There's so many nowadays for a good reason, park skis with some girth are so fun. I even rode a used pair of Moment Night Trains as a park stick one season haha.

Just saying the Da Nollie has been 95mm underfoot for 2 years now, not 1 so there really isn't a need to say they are now 95mm, and they won't be coming back next year. They will be the Nomad 95.

J ski Allplays, Armada E-Dollos, if you want fun soft skis anyway, and the moment PB&Js could be used as a park ski, they're like 101 underfoot i believe, but probably stiffer then what you want

Tried out a friends e-dollo's a couple weeks back. The single handedly worst ski I have ever ridden. Thing had no composition...was like a noodle. No idea how someone enjoys skiing on something like that day in and day out. What a waste of money.

You do realize that is the point right? I used them and they were alright. Not a huge fan like most people are. They just weren't fun to ski for me, but thats how I feel about every pair of Armada's I use.

idk man. I just feel like to charge the $400 bucks or whatever they do for them is insane for a ski that is good for such a slim slim niche of skiing (urban) and thats crazy to promote that. That ski won't teach anyone to get better

You know as well as I do that they can promote whatever the fuck they want if it sells. The marketing behind that ski is unbelievably successful so they can pull shit like what you just said off. Its also $600 and people think they will butter better because of those skis and maybe that means they are getting better at what they want, but you are right. The skis won't make anyone better.

Not arguing with them selling it at all. Its a free market if people will buy them at $600 they should sell them for $600. Was just stating a personal opinion on how stupid those skis are.

you should snag some Shreditor 102s. They literally tear it up everywhere, I think their flex is pretty damn perfect, and they're just fun skis.
