Wondering what size underfoot park skis you ride. I feel like more and more people for wider skis

I like my Jeffrey 96 from on3p been great and can't complain wanted to do 102s to try as all around. Tried my buddies but they felt to slow for me to do swaps and spins I stuck to the 96 but the 102s would be an awesome all around cruising ski

I used to only ride hella skinny skis like I had a few pairs of wets but I got a pair of Jeff 110’s definitely not the best for swaps or quick tech tricks but fuck they charge

had the kartel 108 as my parkski for a season, super stable and playful at the same time. does get quite heavy for spins and tech rail tricks.

now they are my mid deep powski. they feel more at home there.

wanted to size down so now i mostly ride 85-95 underfoot. trying vishnus this season, looking forward to playing around

Used to religiously ride Vishnu wides (106) especially on rails, shits were gas. Weird to get used to for a few hours but after that it was pedal to the metal. Honestly just a preference thing, but IMO it’s just ever so slightly harder to do swaps and stuff on a wider ski even though you have “more room to work with”.

98s currently, I think I might buy some 90 underfoot park skis next. Having ridden traditional park skis, 120 underfoot skis and most things in between I'm not sure there's much of an advantage to fat skis in the park, especially if you are spinning over 540. I think I prefer the quicker feel that skinnier skis have.

Rode my line eps every once in a while they are like 128. Spinning on boxes was super fun and so was buttering but it was hard to do anything techy. Rode my revision subtractions (116) for a spring and most I could do was a kfed and the edges broke still waiting for a warranty on those guys

I quite like my 105 underfoot surface uppers. They’re pretty light so I didn’t really feel the width.

Look at your favorite pros and what they ride in competition or videos, that's usually what will be the best spinning, swapping ski to ride in the park. Fun is a huge factor and that's why I always have two sets of dedicated park skis, one is more practical if I'm going for a hard session and the other is for slushy or more laid back days. I would recommend staying away from skis wider than 105+ because the extra weight will certainly tire you down faster, especially if you ride rope tow parks.

Any ski is a park ski if you ski it in the park.

I feel like any ski right around 100cm underfoot is going to dominate in the park. Surface makes some very good choices (The Upper 105cm) & (The Give’r 100cm)
