super interested in buying a pair of 9’s due to their reputation and their white topsheet being the best looking imo. Only question is are they worth it, if not 9s I was going to buy some of the new ON3P magnus dropping. Any thoughts on differences between the skis and insight on what decision I should make for next years skis? Thanks!

One is full camber, one has rocker. Not sure on "new" nines but older ones have varying quality depending on where they were made. Honestly, for park skis don't go off ns hype. Sure they are probably good skis, but at the end of they day they are going to get trashed and will have shit edges for actual skiing so it doesn't matter too much. Just buy whatever you want in a price range that works for you. There is no "best park ski".

Appreciate the input, just wanted em cuz of the dope topsheet really, but if durability is lacking I’d just go for the ON3P’s

I have no idea about durability on the current 9thwards, but I can vouch that dickie styza who makes them nowadays is a good dude and would probably anwser questions you have about the construction process.

$600 vs $750 isn’t exactly a third of the price, but is a reasonable difference..

Can't say anything about the current model but the one before with the same design were one of the most durable skis I have ever heard of! So if the construction is still the same, go with them!
