Candide 1 is solid park ski, not too wide, not too soft. Also Factions are pretty cheap and their warranty is so loose that you are guaranteed to get new skis if you break them

A good ski for you depends on a lot of things like your skill level, where you ski, and what kind of features you are hitting. Just off the top of my head, these skis would be worth looking into: armada arv 86, j skis all play, line chronics or blends(durability isn't super great), and the K2 reckoner. The on3p magnus 90's and vishnu wets are pretty decent but might not be the best for a beginner.

Do you prefer softer or stiffer skis.

Arv 96 is a really good all around ski that I'd reccomend
Faction prodigy 2.0 if you prefer stiffer

All of these are great skis.

Next yrs head oblivion is going to have thicker base and thicker edges which may make them more durable on rails than heads typically are.

volkls have better durability reviews, and something stupid like half of the competitors at pro slopestyle comps ride revolt 87s, including geopper and ragetli

Oyster bratwurst seems to like competing on revolt 95s but afaik they dont use the volkl fis base like the 87s do. but my kinks from yrs ago that likely had the same base as the revolt 95s do today were plenty fast. Just not quite as lubar as the 87s.

Although the oblivion 94s arent out till next yr. but i assume they will be great bc head tends to know wtf they are doing.
