Looking for a park/rail/jib ski. Something soft and very playful. Over 186 ideally as I'm 6'3 and 230lbs. Currently ski 102 Jeffrey as my daily but looking for a jib ski now it's coming to the end of season.

Any suggestions?

Wait for next drop. They are in the lab. Follow them on insta, they always keep up on the stories with graphics/ideas/etc.

Easy to buy in their pre-sale in a month or so. Also easy to buy when they first drop. Hard to get in the middle of the season just when the new round of Vishnu fans decides they want to buy some. Brilliant marketing, leads to a damn successful pre-sale and drop.

I think Armada make some skis that are 186. ARVs come in 186 I'm pretty sure. The Vishnu wet 189s are sick but if you're tall then you might want more stability? wets have a lot of rise so they feel short and they're mad soft

At 6'3 and 230lbs there's no way a ski that soft would ski very well.

prodigy 2s come in 189s... I got a crazy deal on some 183s (im 5'10 170) and they have held up way better than I anticipated through like 70ish days (50 park). The topsheets are very fucked tho

EDIT: if ur gonna buy Vs go id go for at least the plus and prob the key. wets are just not gonna hold up on landings for a man of your stature

Every time I hear someone refer to Jeffrey's or kartels as soft I get motivated to do squats, but then never do any.

Jeffrey's definitely not soft.
