Replying to First park skis
Last week I went to ski in the park for the first time and now I wanna get more into park skiing. Since we live about 5 hours away from the mountains and I don't have my own car nor income yet, we usually only go once a year skiing. There (st. Anton) I got myself some rental twin-tips, more precisely 163cm Armada arv96s. I would say I am a intermediate skier, I can ski any piste and partially off-piste (but that not that great), but not with greatest form (skis apart, on steeper slopes sometimes having trouble to stay straight/forward leaning).
But back to the skis; in the opinion of a "first time park skier" those arv96s were stiff and heavy as hell. I guess some of the problems I had were exaggerated by not having good boots but I tried to ollie and nollie and stuff but those were pretty much impossible for me because the ski was so stiff.
So now that I wanna buy my own skis I would go in the opposite direction of the arv96 and buy a soft ski:
I was thinking something like the Line Blend or the Bdogs.
For more context I'm 180 and 78kg.
What other skis would you recommend?
