Ski recommendations

So i currently am running a pair of 176 Elan Puzzle twintips. They are a cambered all mountain ski with medium stiffness. Id like to get softer ski for next season. I was thinking about Vishnu skis but i dont want them to be too soft. I was also thinking about maybe getting ON3P skis as another option. Basically just a rockered ski with a softer flex.

I mainly ski park and hit rails, i dont really do any big jumps or anything. I want a soft ski that j can really throw down some work on some rails but i also dont want it to be too soft to the point where i have a hard time with big jumps (id like to start doing more in the future). On occasion i like carving down the main slope so i want something that i could still do that with.

What do you guys recommend?

i would recommend the Vishnu plus, I picked up a pair of the normal Vishnu as a park ski and I love them but if you only have one ski then I would go with the Vishnu plus. it's still a fairly soft ski and the rocker makes it a great ski to butter regardless of the stiffness. I love my Vishnu's and I should add that they are a durable ski for the price

I will say that despite how magnus makes it look, ON3Ps are not soft like say, the line blend or something of that nature. They do have plenty of rocker and are super poppy though, so you can still butter the shit out of them as you please. A lot more stable and chargy as well. Definitely the most fun ski I’ve ever owned.

Wets have a fairly long turn radius so the + is actually not the worst for going fast, especially if you get comfortable carving them. They don't have the same edge hold as a less rockered ski but that's part of the fun. Obvs they butter fine. Low swing weight too. Favorite ski ever for bombing through trees. Very easy to change direction.

I also have a pair of the magnus 102s and I love them. They are kind of stiff but still decently easy to butter and are a lot of fun. They have also been very durable for me and I would definitely recommend them.

What is the difference between the magnus 90s and the magnus 102s?

The 102s are slightly less symmetrical than the 90s. On the On3p website it says The 102s are basically a more stable version the 90s and they are better suited for more all mountain skiing and will have better float in soft snow since they are wider. I would probably say to go with the 90 since you said you mainly ski park and they will be a little lighter than the 102s.
