6ft 140lbs looking for a dedicated park ski. I currently ski 181cm kartel 108s. What are your experiences with vishnus and magnuses? What was the flex like, performance on big jumps, etc. I want skis I can butter but won't wash out on jumps.

Vishnu wets I would not take over anything bigger than a 30ft. They are more for rails similar to the Magnus. Kartel 98 sounds more your speed.

Magnuses can definitely hit big jumps.

Oh!! Redacting that bit. I've just had friends who didn't like them on the big stuff.

The flex on both are good. The Vishnu's flex really heavy and are super playful, but the on3p's also flex a decent amount just not as much. I like both skis. If you are looking for big jumps go with the ON3P's the vishnus are more for rails.

Do you know if the Magnus is any flexier or if it has the same flex as the kartel 108?

I find the Mangus a bit more flexy than the Kartel.

In order of least to most in terms of stiffness Magnus, K98, K108. Would definitely not consider the 108 soft. If you want the all mountain width and a jibbier flex, then pay the extra 50$ for 19oz fiberglass instead of 22oz.

Thanks. I wasn't considering k108s for park, I was looking for a reference because I already own k108s. Sounds like magnus should be good, as k108s are fairly close to being soft enough for me.

I've hit all kinds of jumps on my wets the last three years and they don't washout on me so idk where you got this info that they're bad at jumps. For scale of the size of jumps i've done the okemo jump line on blackout and the sunday river line from this year if anyone knows what size those are for scaling.
