Ok I know I just made a thread asking If wets would fit me earlier today so sorry for filling the forums with questions lol. But I need a new pair of skis sooner then later. Currently skiing on a chronic and wanted something more soft and playful. However wets are not in stock which is what I was going to go with. Anything else similar that people would recommend?

Ollies aren’t about the ski for the most part. The right ski can help but it’s kinda like skating if you can suck your knees up super high your Ollie will be super high as long as you have a decent rocking at the beginning

Yeah I suppose although sometimes you can feel a definitive difference in skis for "pop" prolly good to practice on different types of skis anyway
