I am looking for sumthing i can can butter on a little but also has the carving capabilities. i ski 65 percent park 35 groomers or just fucking around bucking myself off boulders. please drop recommendations. (i can 3, 5 and 270 off and some other easier tricks)

I am same height and same weight and I have 178 TW Pros and love them. Other skis I suggest are ARV 96’s, JSki all plays, Icelandic nomad 95’s, ON3P Magnus, etc.

I get you bro I change my mind constantly when lookin at new sticks. Go with your gut, I’ve learned that I’m rarely unhappy with a ski nowadays. Combine the fact that most people make a pretty good ski with some A1 advice from the boys on NS here, you’ll be stoked with whatever you buy. Seems like you’re leaning towards the ARV 96 which is a bomber ski! Great for just about everything, it can butter around but also holds a really good edge and has a backbone for when you’re not in the park. Hope this helps!

You can't just tell if a ski is going to last for two seasons. Sure there are skis that are usually more durable than others, but you definitely can break a pair of on3ps in a month if you have bad luck.

My edollos (al Dentes) have actually lasted for two seasons, but my friend snapped a pair in two weeks if I remember right.

i may go with edollos because they seem to be a great underfoot and a pretty softish ski but still stable

Check out the black ops 98 that ski is pretty bomb proof solid on the groomers but still flexy enough for some butters. I personally like the line blends at 100mm underfoot but those are mad flex and have really dope butter zones.
