Im looking for a fat park ski but i dont know should i get the lib tech ufo 105 or just the not so fat lib tech backwards. I dont know if i only ski park, maybe the 105 is just oo wide clumsy. Just think the width would let me balance me a lil better.

Armada arv 106’s are pretty fun park skis, I personally like a wider park ski too. I ride some old armada al dentes and they’re 98 under foot, definitely a little nicer to have a wide base sliding rails!

Yes they are stiff as fuck, I had the original 106 a few years back and they were pretty playfull. The ski has been stiffened almost every year since then so now they are everything but playful and soft

I have blends now, they are 100 underfoot and total noodles, a bit too soft for my taste. I've been looking k2 reckoner 102s and völkl revolt 104s, they seem pretty fun

I'm a fan of narrower skis for pure park. They're more light and nimble. It's nice to have a shorter turn radius in the park to adjust angles of approach. 105 Is great for park heavy all mountain cruising though.
I learned park in the days when park skis were less than 80 mm underfoot though so go figure.

Faction Prodigy 1.0, Line TW, Volkl Bash 86 are good options, and I'm sure you can find a decent price on them in Europe.

Faction Prodigy 3.0’s are some super fun fat skis you should consider.
Way more fun and surfy than my candide 1.0’s

Surface uppers are 140-105-135, not super stiff, decent amount of rocker, and pretty light. I love them. They don’t feel any less nimble than my old bash 89s but they’re a lot more playful and enjoyable to me
