5,9 140 lb, want a park ski i can hit rails on and progress some basic tricks, rails at my resort are shit so i dont rlly want a hella expensive ski, no used park skis i can buy near me, i ski in europe, i will go to the alps this season - for 10 days or something probably, but ski in my local resort every weekend. Im using my sfb for pow and jibbing around. Ive been looking at poachers, edollos, maybe arv 86 (no lines please my bacons are enough worry) No vishnu or j skis cuz europe ofc.

wait i didnt make it clear why the search bar wasnt enough - I want to know how the durability of poachers and edollos is for still learning kinda basic park, i want to use them like 2 seasons.

i heard nothing bad from the poscher and my brother is also buying some for this season. But i heard they are really stiff and not really good for nose butters. As a beginner they should last to seasons i think.
Where are you skiing in europe? Im mostly in schöneben

If you’re interested in skis from a European Indy brand and open to a more traditional park ski, our Alparka could suit you well. Extra thick base and edges, super light, light swing weight, stiff underfoot but flexy at the ends.

Both the dollo and poacher will last 2 season no problem. Even though they good skis, I would not recommend getting the poachers cuz they too stiff and heavy for a beginner to progress fast and have fun.

Not true at all lol, the weight isnt noticable and the stiffness makes it easier to land sloppy and not wash out

What about the nomads and the arv 96? I like the fact the nomads are light, but are they that durable? Also I heard the arv is pretty boring but it could do well on all mountain which is good for me

They are on the heavier + stiffer side tho which make a less forgiving ski for someone getting into park

Never rode either so I don't really know

Honestly disagree if you're getting into park it's probably better to learn on something that you can land backseat or too far forward and not flex yourself into eating shit as opposed to constantly washing out all the time. I didn't buy buttery skis for like 10 years and they can definitely save you from eating shit, especially landing switch too heavy on ur tails
