Was looking at the Edollo, what is your stance on the line chronic 101 2024? As a park ski.

He's probably like 12 or just a small human, it should be fine.

One of my boys when we were like 14 managed to peel off his entire topsheet in like 7 days of skiing on his chronics and we were not big humans

idk if op wants to drop 800 on a pair of park skis if he's new to park skiing. That being said, I've been seeing used pairs on snowshare, in which case it would be a great option.

Yeah, I am very new to rails but really want to learn them, just looking for something that will work for a beginner in the park.

Hmmmm honestly don't break the bank on your first pair of park skis, they will get beat up so quickly when you're first learning. Find any somewhat cheap used twin (or last year's but it might be a bit late for that) and start shredding.

Yeah you seen the price of armadas and other major park skis lately? They are not far off for a ski that's much worse in quality. All skis have gotten so expensive it's crazy

https://www.corbetts.com/2023-volkl-revolt-104-skis/

Revolt 104 for roughly $320USD, free shipping to the states. If you're considering the Chronic 101 they won't be too wide.

haha yeah I wouldn't recommend MSRP armadas either. I just checked their site and holy shit I didn't realize ARV 94s had gotten so expensive.

Sorry for all the questions, but is it better to go wider or more thin for park skis?

Where do you ski?

Are you looking for one ski to do everything or a super dedicated park ski?

What kind of park skiing do you want to get into exactly?

I am looking for a mainly park oriented ski. I would like to get into rails and start progressing in my 3s.

Totally agree with this, I bought my armada arvs and some attack bindings for 650$ back in 2020. Now the skis alone are that price.
