Hey ns,
I’m thinking of picking up a new pair of skis. I currently ride moderately stiff full camber skis that I quite like, but I’m thinking of getting something else to compliment them. I am wondering, is a stiffer ski with rocker better or a soft ski with camber, or do I just get both and buy vishnus or something.

TLDR for small hills what camber profile is the best, and what are some pLAyFuL, poppy, and lightweight skis that are preferably narrow
btw I am 5’9 and weigh 115 pounds and want something for park

Sounds like some Wets would be a fun complimentary ski. Might as well do a different profile to change things up while you have the opportunity. As you know those are also popular here in the midwest along with the On3p Magnuses. If I had that opportunity I'd be buying some V's
