go into a shop and flex on em. a lot of line skis would be in your budget or some last years edollos if you can find them on sale perhaps.

Surface giver, line blend, armada edollo, K2 Reckoner 102. Don’t buy line honey badgers. Shop used if you have to.
some people mentioned Vishnu. Another good option but if you suck at park they can be a handful.
im a big Icelantic fan but they’re expensive and the 2.2mm edge kinda sucks if you do crazy amounts of park skiing

Whats wrong with honey badgers in your opinion, I have been riding them for two years now and have loved them however I have started to think they have conditioned me to a way too flexible ski, making it harder for me to ski other skis

You’re right, I haven’t ridden surface but from talking to one of their reps and a guy that’s sponsored by them they said the royale skis a lil stiffer than a blend, again I haven’t skied them so idk for sure going off what I’ve been told. But the 2020 royale is 300 dollars new on their site and 2021 is 399 new on their site. So that’s an option

Not bad skis for really young beginners. But they’re not built to last. Cap construction sucks dick. They’re soft but they have no backbone. They just flex and give out. They snap pretty easily and they delam within minutes of touching snow. Just my opinion of them

For modern skiing not a great ski. Very narrow and therefore less versatile. Very stiff as well

I dont know if you want a park ski but the volkl revolt 87 is probably the most attractive park ski u can buy today. Volkl, (like head does with the fw and cddy) uses the same base on the revolt 87 that they use on their competition race skis. Its very fast and pretty almost half of this yrs slopestyle competitors were riding it, including goepper.
in my exp great park skis are great everywhere on the mountain, even in powder. In powder you kind of just slice through. The fundamentals of the ski let it perform well everywhere even though you wont really float in deep powder. But who cares. For pow they are still fun, even center mounted.
also park skis are usually built sturdy as possible to deal with rails, so if your not hitting rails your skis might last a really long time.
If you want a park ski that is great in pow the revolt 95 or k2 reckoner 102 might be better.
After riding a wider ski that didnt really do much in or out of the pow im done riding skis that arent proven by park skiers

The revolt 87s are NOT going to be buttery. But the revolt 95 is under $450, has a “butter zone” and a relatively middle of the road flex. It can also ski light powder alright. It’s not a bad choice given the price

This kid is a gaper troll. Volkls are the farthest thing from buttery you could imagine. I’ve skied them before. I actually skied revolt 87s. They sucked.
