Looking for some soft skis that can also handle being taken outside the park. Already have the edollo and vishnu wets on my mind.

Vishnu Key 100%. Perfect softness for buttering, but the camber shape makes it a way better all mountain ski than the wet

I love my Icelantic nomad 94s they’re stiff enough that I don’t wash out on jumps but still soft enough to butter.

Vishnu wets ride horribly in fresh snow and when used to ski aggressively

Wide plus would be the move. they feel a lot more stable at speed, they are soft enough to have a lot of fun with but its nice to have a lil more backbone.. like when the wide plus is broken in they stay about the stiffness that the regular wides are when new if thats a good visual

vishnu wets do NOT hold their weight for all mountain. that is a rope tow ski.

Get Departs, they're definitely not super super soft, but you can butter them and they absolutely rip all mountain, most fun ive had on skis in a while

I think a ski that's pretty slept on in this category is the armada stranger. they have soft noses that are literally designed to be butter while still having the strength to ski all mountain and carve really well.
