andrewsmartMore info would help, such as your height and weight, as well as where you ski, what underfoot size is too much or too little, how stiff of a ski you're lookin for, etc
SteezMaster68Looking for a pure park ski. A ski meant for only park skiing and nothing else. Have been debating between the Tom wallisch pro, chronics, and blends. Leaning toward the twp. What would you guys get? Any better options out there? I ski mostly rails but also want something that’s playful and capable on jumps
Neives_tiddiesIf you wait a bit the new 90mm k2’s that the comp skiers ride look so sick
TW pros
vishnu keys (their “traditional” park ski)
dont get the chronics for pure park
while typing this i checked and the revolt 90s were just released, on evo for 599

SteezMaster68I think I’m going to get the TW pros. They check basically all the boxes for me and are surprisingly cheap. I found them for 430 with tax and shipping. Now I have to decide what length. I’m 6ft so I was going to get the 178 but I’m thinking about the 171 since I wnat the lowest swing weight I can get. I don’t send it super big off jumps so I don’t feel like I need much extra stability. I’m more of a rail guy. Would the 171 be way to small?
SteezMaster68Idk they seem a little too soft
KilaTsunamiNo way. They’re amazing. The flex isn’t a damp/tired feeling flex, it’s a super responsive and poppy type of flex. Light as a feather on rails too. The lightness in the swing weight totally blew my mind coming off some old armadas. Highly recommend.
Neives_tiddiesBut theyre sold out lol
Neives_tiddiesGo 178, even thats a little small for you for a daily driver ski but for a dedicated park ski (sorry for all the buzzwords) thats probably good. 171 is way too short.
since youre pretty light you could get away with attacks or griffon bindings at 8-9 DIN
The atomic punx 7 are also a cheap pure park ski, NS hates on them, ive never ski’d them, but a lot of pro comp skiers use them
