I want to ski something that is surfy and floaty in the park in midwest but wont break the bank and i found these 2012 salomon czar’s, and I dont know if they would be too cooked. keep in mind i am heavier im 190lbs and 5’10” so i can flex skis a bit easier than others.

rails are so much fun on some fattys like that. I'd say the only drawback would be stability if you go huge on some jump

Volkl Gotamas would be from around the same era, full camber, 105 under foot. I loved those in the park. I use my ARV 116s in the park sometimes too. You can't be as quick as you might on a dedicated park ski, but riding feels smooth, lots of stability on rails and big landings. With the more rockered skis it's important to stay really centered because it's hard to power through a backseat landing on them.

i have some experience landing jumps in vishnu wets so ive gotten pretty used to landing centered so it shouldn’t be an issue
