Does anyone make a halfpipe ski anymore?

I remember back in the day we had a ton of pipe specific skis to choose from, like the Armada AR8/Pipe Cleaner, Salomon Pro Pipe, 4frnt Wise... Even Ninthward had a pipe ski for Taylor Seaton.

Next season I'll be able to ride a world class halfpipe pretty regularly, so I'm trying to track down a ski just for that. Any ideas?

The Tom Wallisch pro or poacher would probably work good

Fischer Nightstick (if they are making it next year) is probably the best choice for a pure pipe ski.

They are hard to find (can't even find a website for them) but a company called ZUMA still makes a promodel for Justin Dorey. They are featured in this video which was put out recently: https://dailyskatetube.com/video/setups-simon-dartois-superpipe-ski-gear-dew-tour/

This ski is a dedicated pipe ski, I wish you luck in hunting some down!

Word, I used to have a pair of Fischer Addict Pros and those were like a symmetrical race ski.

Ah yes I figured Zuma must have something, they have so many halfpipe guys on the team.

If liberty still makes the transfer that’s a pretty pipe oriented ski, was marked for mostly pipe. The durability has had issues majorly from liberty though.

I think most brands like atomic salomon, moment and volkl all have pipe skis for their pro athletes with the same graphics as consumer skis like the revolt 87.

Try to find an Atomic Punx 7. Same exact ski used by the pipers.
