Can you ski Kartel 108s in the park

I have had a pair for a little while and normally stay away from gnarlier rails because I want to keep them clean but also because they are pretty hard to get around, what you think?
 
It wasnt until I took my kartels into the park that I began to do more than straight slide rails and finally landed corks. They do amazingly in the park, also the beefy edges don't care about rails. They will get a little dull underfoot but I have only had to tune them once in three years. The flex pattern is pretty good too, I'm really used to it though. I demo'd some magnus 102s and they were great but felt stiffer. That's just cus the flex pattern is more linear, but I like how the tips are softer and underfoot is really solid on the Kartels

108. Although my next ones will be the 102. The width is noticable but you get used to it really quickly.

Awesome I ski honey badgers as my park ski so the difference is crazy trying to get adjusted thinking of just using the Kartels from now on just not comfortable yet

Yeah fair enough. You'll get comfortable quickly. I haven't skied honey badgers, but I bet you'll like the kartels more. I have yet to ski a park ski I preferred over them just because they really can do it all. Done with k-feds on flat tubes? Hop on a different lift and go destroy some chutes just as easily. Drop a cliff or two.
 
Sold my park skis last year and have been riding my 108s in the park ever since. Took me a second to get used to it but I've had a lot of fun taking wider skis on rails!
