Looking for a really soft lightweight park ski.

I'm looking for a super soft buttery lightweight ski. The mtn i ski at doesn't have big jumps nothing bigger than 30s so i am not super concerned about stability. I bought a pair of k2 domains on sale but have heard that they may not be as soft as what i am looking for. I need something that i can throw butters down no prob. I am pretty lightweight 145ib so its a little hard for me to flex a ski. I have a pair of shreditor 92s and i love them for all mtn and bigger features but they are too heavy and stiff otherwise. So i'm looking for the polar opposite I want something easy to spin off rails and smaller features. Any suggestions guys I was considering blends, TCs or whipits as well, how would they compare to domains. Any help would be really appreciated.

Yo you're looking for the vishnu wet. I ordered a pair bit haven't ridden them yet. They are buttery enough to get usain bolt fat in a week.

Vishnu Wets are pretty soft, I'd say similar as a da nollie. Blends aren't gonna be super light from my understanding. Da Nollie are fun, I ride a pair, lighter than Blends. I'd maybe check out Atomic Infamous, don't low the exact flex on them however and how they compare to the skis.

I looked at the wets they look really cool. The smallest size is a 177 would that be small enough for me. I'm 5'7" and weigh 145+. My shredditors are 177 but they might be a little big.

How old are you/ still growing at all?

You're on the edge of it but with a softer ski having a lil more length is good for putting down landing from anything. Plus longer skis always make your skiing look iller.

I'm 17 but i defiantly already hit my growth spurt. I haven't grown that noticeably in the last two years. I got a little heavier so i might grow a little more.

Thanks for all you guys' help. I'm probably gonna go with the wets. Been doing a little research and they look totally sick, exactly what i am looking for. Anyone else have suggestions feel free. I think I'm set though.

J Vacation skis are supposedly an updated Lizzie. soft fat and lots of fun (i'd imagine), theyre 106 underfoot but they'd be fine. i skied my lizzies (172 @110 underfoot) most days for like three years and fucking loved them.

I just got a pair of Icelantic Da'Nollies last year with some marker jester bindings on them. Super fun setup, real poppy yet super soft. I only 150 and I can bend the crap out of them. Light and playful with a 3 YEAR WARRENTEE. Cant go wrong with that
