WHAT SKIS ARE NEXT?

So i'm looking to get new park skis either next season or a season after that. I am 6 feet tall and weigh about 205 lbs. I'd say I'm a pretty advanced skier but newer to park. I ski almost all park unless there's a powder day but I already have Pow skis. I live out in Utah and ski mainly Brighton.

I've ridden:
armada thalls - hated the stiffness and weight of them
volkl ledges - felt like I couldn't ollie without flexing out of them
ON3P Filthy's - Love these to death, the rocker is a must now and they have flex but also enough pop to hop onto rails

Skis I'm thinking about:
ON3P Filthy's/ Magnus
Moment Frankenski
Line Blends

Could use some help as I want to demo them all but can't so I need some advice. Also open to suggestions on skis as well.

the blends are super popy but the new filthy look sick and i heard there sick for park but since your in utah i know that the snow can get pretty deep and the blends are the ski to go for if you want a buttery and wider park ski. and the other skis i dont have much knowledge on.

In my opinion, The Moment Vice might be slightly better choice than the Frankenski because it has the rocker of the filthy rich and a very similar flex patter, while being very light. The frankenski has lots of pop, but not a ton of rocker and aren't playful. In my honest opinion, go for the Vice or Fility Rich. You'll enjoy both, both are pretty similar besides waist width. If you already have pow skis you shouldn't need Blends if these are your dedicated park skis.

I'm an ON3P fan, so I'd recommend them. But I've never ridden the filthy/Magnus. However, if you're considering the blend which is 100 underfoot you should consider the Kartel 98 as well as the filthy/Magnus or maybe in place of them. I love the Kartels. Also, since you are in Utah, I'd go Kartel over filthy/mag if you go ON3P. You'll appreciate more of a ski unless you ski strictly park.

If you already have pow skis, get a dedicated park ski if you're that sorta skier. Cant hurt to go with what you know you'll love

Good advice Lencoln accept if these are his dedicated park skis there isn't much of a reason to go with a 98 underfoot unless he really wants a wide park ski. Id imagine he would use these skis like 90-95% of the time in the park.

OP if you go ON3P go with the Fility Rich/Magnus. If you go Moment, go for the Vice. I ride the Vice and love them to death. Can't go wrong with either in my opinion, make sure to detune your edges before you ski em
