I have a pair of j allplays that I love other than I wish that they were softer. So I am looking for a new pair of skis that are around 100mm underfoot built for park/all mountain but are softer than all plays. I also rode a pair of 4frnt gauchos that I fell in love with but sadly couldn’t find a pair to buy for myself. Also I am a fan of smaller ski brands like gilson(fusion 96/all mountain model), sego(big horn 96), moment(Frankenski), fullsend skico and Lithic. I mostly ride woods trails but the resort I ride at is not much of a mountain so most of our woods trails are just charging through brush with jumps as you exit. I also ride a decent amount of park about 2 days a week mostly jumps but some intermediate rail tricks. So I wa s wondering if there are any skis that would fit good for this type of skiing.
Nomad 95 is surprisingly soft once broken in and it’s a small company that’s carbon positive can’t say I’m a fan of the new top sheets but they are a really good ski all round
Vishnu Keys sound perfect. If you want something even softer go wet. My keys are pretty soft though. They are stiffer a wet piece of spaghetti and softer than 2x4. Perfect. The ski is a a bit softer than the noses of the Faction prodigy. So a lot stiffer than something like the blend, but softer than the arv and frankenski. One of my friends has the frankenski and loves them. He says they are perfect for all mountain like you describe and they ski jumps great. They aren't too soft though but aren't ridiculously stiff.
Keys look nice too but yah Frankenski is pure bamboo core with carbon fiber so won’t be the softest
