So the time has finally come to replace my beloved DaNollies and I have no idea what to buy. I loved them so much that I was just gonna buy another pair but tragically discontinued them. What skis are the market right now would be closest? Looking for a flexy jib rockered symmetrical ski ~95mm underfoot

I have never ridden the DaNollies but I bought the Vishnu Wet in 183 this season and I am thoroughly impressed. They are symmetrical, and they butter and press really well, but they also have a good amount of pop. I have a really fun time doing ollies, actually loading up the tails and having them spring me up. Nollies are a bit wierder. due to the curve of the tip, if you lean very far forward they will auger into the snow, but I think it's just a matter of time. They are the most fun ski I have ever owned. They are a bit narrower at 87mm underfoot, but I haven't had an issue with that, even when riding 14 inches of powder at Stevens Pass this season. They were pretty much always under the snow, but due to the tip and tail rocker, and the fact that they are incredibly light, and thin at the tip and tail, I pretty much didn't lose any maneouverability.

Black Crow Camox. 97 underfoot and 18 mt. turn radius. Real surfy, but not noodley. Great all mountain ski that works in the park. Super durable too, which is really about the most important feature I look for in a ski.

i used to ride danollies as well, i replaced them with a pair of arv 96s and i found the performance to be quite similar. in my humble opinion, the arv 96 is one of the best skis out right now

Vishnu is said to be coming out with a 106mm wide Wet; that would be an interesting ski.

Interesting review of a ski....how does it float in powder? How is the radius relative to size? Carving ability? etc....

Your're review is a joke.

The RMU Rippah is very close to the Da'nollies. Its symmetrical, 97 underfoot, and a super fun, playful jibby ski. Definitely check them out. And they're only 399 on RMUs site
