Softer park skis

What’s up guys,

I made a thread about some powder skis, but unfortunately my move to CO has been delayed but I’m on Mt. Snow all season.

I’m looking to get a pair of shorter, flexier, and lighter park skis to add to my longer, heavier and stiffer AR7s.
I’m about 5’9 155lbs and just want a ski that is almost completely park oriented that’s light to help progress on rails and throw bigger spins on jumps.

I’ve been looking at J skis Allplays and Whipits, On3p and back to Armada as well.

Any advice?

Vishnu Wets or ON3Ps if it's mainly rails. E-Dollos if jumps and rails 50/50. Poachers if mainly jump lines but some rails.

I just got the new Whipits, very fun with rocker but pretty stable at high speed. Also stupid light

ON3Ps are durable, but a little heavier than the Whipits and Wets

That being said, the Wets are stupid light. Idk about Whipits or how they compare to the Wets but the ON3Ps being heavier than the Wets isn't saying much. Especially if it actually is a small difference. Unless you are tiny or huge, don't worry about the weight here.

Everyone’s been hyping up the wets which makes me wanna say fuck it and get them but they’re all sold out. On3ps are proven to be dope apparently which makes me want those or the whipits

I would have got the ON3Ps but I just started skiing again so I saved the money and got the Wets. I'm relearning almost everything so it's not like I'll be pushing them very hard. I just wanted something soft and fun for when I'm in the little park teaching my kid brother how to ski. Personally I think they feel and look a little cheap, especially compared to ON3Ps models. I can't speak on how the Wets ski though. My ski shop has had them for two weeks now... (how long does it take to get a 95mm Attack 13 brake shipped to Wisconsin... wtf?).

Just to help out here: Wets and Whpits are light and flexy, whereas the ON3Ps have a lot of rocker but are a little stiffer and heavier(Stupid durable). Line Blends are wider and heavier, but still have that soft flex.

From what I read on J skis and On3p websites, it says that the Magnuses are slightly lighter than the whipits? I find that hard to believe

The Whipits are lighter than the Magnus if they were the same length I believe. I still find it hard to imagine that they are anywhere close to similar in terms of their weight.

Vacation is actually stiffer than both the whipit and allplay. The allplay is the flexiest ski they have
