So I’ve been away from skiing park well just skiing in general for a few years, I’m a pretty small dude ( 5’9 130ish pounds) my local hill all I plan on doing is park. I want light skis that are super flexible & buttery, I’ve been trying to do my research and I’m looking at the line Tom Wallisch, what are your guys suggestions? Thanks in advance bois.

What is your budget? Are you looking for symmetrical ski or no? Fully cambered or some rocker? What width? What other skis have you been on and like?

I can't personally give many recommendations for park skis, but these are important things to consider.

I just want a nice light ski with some rocker, a symmetrical ski yeah for sure! & not too sure about the width tbh not a huge ski something smaller I suppose? Sorry if I sound stupid this is all new to me & the only park skis I’ve ridden were Line Honey badgers & I really like that kinda ski just looking for something better maybe the armada arv 86s?

The 86 is not a super soft ski. The Badger is more or less a skinnier lighter Blend, w cap construction instead of a sidewall. The TWallisch Pro is not symmetrical

Ahh okay thanks for the help, so if I’ve had the honey badgers before and want something new you’d recommend the blends?

Yeah the blend is a step up, it’s a fun ski and it feels much lighter in the air than in your hands

Honey badgers are great if you aren't going to go really big. I had them and they were surprisingly durable and seriously light.
