Replying to Looking for an all mountain park ski that still feels playful
I'm 6'1, 185 pounds, more athletic than the average joe but nothing crazy. I run once a week, and weight lift at least 3 times a week so I'm in pretty decent shape. I really want to find a ski to start diving into park skiing. Right now i live in colorado and ski double blacks almost exclusively; lots of off piste, tree dense trails. I ski quite aggressively, ive topped out at around 55mph on my currents skis. I'm skiing nordica enforcer 100 (177cm length) right now and they are incredible for what I do currently but I learned to ski switch ok, hit some rails, and small jumps now but honestly a total novice in the park (i know no real tricks tbh) and want something more made for that style. I really dont want to spend a lot but I dont mind doing it if I need to for the right pair of skis. I want to learn some buttery stuff, looks so fun! Right now I'm looking at the 2019/2020 Faction Prodigy 2.0 (183cm length) cause they are on sale but they really seem like a decent fit. But lots of people say they are too stiff for buttery tricks plus idk if going up in length that much will hurt my performance in general. With my weight and ski experience does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions for me? Thanks for taking the time to read and happy new year ya filthy animals!
