I've recently started working on my rail game. I am purchasing new whips next season but cant decide what to get, however, I was wondering what kind of ski profile is best when trying to improve my park skills. Any recommendations are highly appreciated!

totally agree. If your just starting out, trad camber is the way to go - better pop for sure, maybe a little more stable on jumps, definitely more stable on ice. Once you figure out what you really enjoy, tailor your set up to it!

Rockered skis are hella fun to ride on rails and to screw around in the park. Make surface swaps a bit easier as well. If you are just starting out, or just want a safe choice of a ski go with a cambered ski. Id try and demo or try a friends rockered ski to see if you like em, they aren't for everyone but sure are fun to ride.

Maybe get something with a bit of rocker and a bit of flex to see what you like? Maybe Line chronic/blend, K2 shreditor, armada ARV?
