Hi,

I am going to purchase either the stinger, wall or candide 1.0 from the 2015 line (the white one). I will use these only for park. I currently ski on filthy riches but after skiing on skis like the candide 2.0 realized that I'm not a huge fan of the profile on the filthy rich. I am 5'11 150lbs. I really liked the candide 2.0 but wanted something quicker. The main things I'm interested in are the durability of the hg vs durability of walls vs the durability of the candide 1.0, whether the difference in dimensions of the wall and candide will make a difference or not, flex, and how easy they are to spin on. Also I have Salomon NFX as well so im looking for something different than those
Wall dimensions: 115,87,115
Candide 1.0 dimensions: 121,90,121
HG stinger: 125,96,125
Thanks and +k for help

If you want something different than nfx, i would let völkl wall out. They both are stiff full camber skis.

Alright wall seems similar to the nfx so it's down to faction vs hg. Any help is greatly appreciated

1.0 is rockered unlike stinger that is a full camber ski.
Stingers got thicker edges than 1.0 so better durability.
Stingers are wider than 1.0
Im not really sure about the flex about these skis but i belive that 1.0 is medium flexy ski.

If you want wider camber park ski, go with stingers
If you want skinnier rocker-camber-rocker ski, go with 1.0
