Hi, I'm from Munich, Germany and currently living and skiing in Zurich, Switzerland, my home resort is Lech in Austria.

I'm 21 and have been skiing for about 18 years mostly racing and big mountain touring but started park skiing about 3 years ago so I would say I am a very good skier in general but still learning and progressing in the park.

I am looking for a new pair of skis for this season and want something with a bit wider platform (90-105 mm under foot) and with a buttery and fun feeling to it but stil I need it to hold an edge on grommers at high speeds and perform all over the mountain. I don't ski a lot of rails but a lot of kickers and really want to progress in jibs this season. The ski should be light and buttery but still stable

The skis are going to be used for about 40% piste (but I am looking for a ski to take jumps from the side of the piste and have fun there as well because I still have a proper racing ski to really push it in terms of speed but I wanna have confidence in the skis at high speeds), 40% park and some off-piste.

I think the best fit for me could be the 178 cm Faction Candide 2.0 but I'm also considering the Candide 1.0 (which I think is a bit too stiff for what I am looking for especially compared to the Candide 2.0), the Line Chronic or maybe the Icelantic danollie.

I'm especially drawn towards the Candide 2.0s but there is very little information on the faction homepage and there is generally very little to find about those skis..

I'm about 180cm and 75 kg ( = 5'9 and 165 lbs)

Would be really helpful if you could share some experiences you may have had with either of those skis or even comparisons if you skied more than one of them (How soft? heavy? stable? .....)

Also I'm not quite sure wether to get the Candide 2.0 in 178 or 172 and I would mount it on the indicated freestyle centre I think.

Thanks a lot in advance
 
... Another option would be the Amplid Syntax because I owned the Antidogmas and loved them and their swingweight is apparently lower than any other skis but they have a full camber and I am not sure but think that rocker would be better for my purposes. Any thoughts on that?
 
I'd look at ON3P Kartels. I have the 106 and it's my daily driver. Lots of rocker and still poppy. Pretty stiff though. For something softer, the Al Dentes have a good reputation
 
I have the 2015 da nollies and they are awesome, but they really chatter at high speeds cause of the massive amount of rocker and softness. But they are dope to jib on. The Candide will most likely be a bit better to rip on and might hold better.

Because ON3P is super easy to get in Europe.... You fucking idiots need to learn to read before throwing out ON3P or line blends for every answer

Well,there's a store in Munich who sells them.

I ride the 2.0s and absolutely love them. I think that they would greatly fit your needs.
