I need new skis for next season, and I have narrowed it down to the Edollos and the 98s. I ski on the east coast, and dont get that much snow, so these skis are about as wide as I can go. I wanted to get the Edollos, but I want to know if they can ski everything, or if they are a wet noodle that cant carve or charge. I know the 98s can, but just wanted to know if anyone had skied either of these and whether or not they are just park skis or can really ski anything.
thanks

I haven't ridden them but the Zero series edollos are a more stable version (stiffer probably) and i would include that in your search

I have the Aldente Zero's. it is a stiffer Edolo, but not by much. The Aldente is a park ski at heart but can cruise the mountain. It carves really well and floats like a boat. it doesn't like steep shit though, it chatters really bad and doesn't have a lot of edge hold.

If you saw yourself spending all of your time in the park, go Edolo. More all mountain based stuff go ON3P

I would consider the Edolo 80% park %20 all mountain.

I would consider the ON3P to be closer to 50:50
