(6 foot, 175 lbs, Colorado skier) I am thinking about getting bent Chetler 100s or 90 for next season. I would only ride them in the park, I’m looking into these because I need a good stable ski for jumps and how light they are. I am going to start trying doubles next season. Ik they’re an all mtn ski but would they be good for just park?

a bunch of pros ride chettys in the park like jonah Williams, all the wells brothers, tanner blakely just to name a couple. You can definately rip on them and I think the 90’s that came out this year are more symmetric too

Most atomic athletes at the Olympics were on 90s so im sure they're dope
 
I bet you could rock a mango easily if you can swing the money. Imo a better ski and meant for park.

sure people ride the Chet in park but it’s not made for park specifically.
 
Was looking into mangos earlier. My only worry is they will be too soft. I’m gonna be throwing doubles on 50+ ft jumps and my impression is that mangos are pretty soft? I was looking at Jeffrey’s, but do you know if Jeffrey’s can preform well if only riding them in the park? Or if mangos aren’t as soft as I think

They aren’t stiff as hell, but very solid flex from what I have heard and read on here. A little softer than the jeffereys, but with a more forward mount it has a more equal tip and tail length so solid even landing.

also almost certain the mango will be stiffer and better for landings than the chets.

Jeff’s would perform well but might be a little heavy to throw big stuff on
 
On3p’s arnt really soft imo at all if anything they are a bit on the stiffer side, the thing that makes them sketch on bigger features is the amount of rocker. there is mad rocker so it makes them feel super loose cause of the less contact on snow
 
skied with a retired pro at the end of last season, he got the bents thinking they were a park ski. they turned too much for him and felt too unstable to go big on.

the punx would be more suited as a full bred parkski for dubs.

Bent 90 is supposed to replace the Punx, although they are not as stiff.
