So I'm in the market for some stiff park skis. Right now I'm riding the volkl wall which I have loved but I have a feeling they may not last me the rest of the season I skied them a good 130+ days (/claim) this passed year while working at mountains and they are already pretty beat up.
Does anyone have a good recommendations for stiff skis? I was pretty interested in OM3P and factions but wasn't sure if they had skis that were that stiff

ON3P will be stiffer than most brands, their playfulness will be a result of their rounder flex, shape, and profile. Also the snappiness of the bamboo core.

i got to borrow a pair of ON3P Kartel 98 this summer. they felt stiff but i could butter on them. didn't wash out on jumps either because they are fairly stiff. way stiffer that i was expecting. really fun skis.

also side note, think its worth it shelling out a bit extra to go the custom route with ON3P?

Factions aren't really stiff, I second the Kartel 98 recommendations. They're pretty stiff and badass, maybe check out the Moment PB&J as well.
