Flexible for butters but can stand the park

I need a ski that I can do gnarly butters on but still be able to hit rails and what not, what's a good park ski that is also a good butter ski. I heard the Armada Ar7 are good, any others?
 
Never ridden them but I'd think the Edollos or Aldentes would be a good choice just because henrik was able to butter the fuck outta them but still toss a triple on a huge jump.
 
The AR7 is the stiffest in the Armada line. The Edollo's are a perfect mix of what you want. Also check out Line Chronics and Revision Talisman or Dimes. If you want something wider, the Salomon Rockr2 100's are tight.
 
Are there any skis as flexible as the LTC? I honestly don't care about the durability or if I can get them new. I wanna try and find a used pair for around $100
 
Moment Frankenski, Triple Camber + full bamboo core = heaven for butters / rails / jumps / tripods / kicking little kids in the head / switch backflips into hot tubs / .... / the list goes on
 
I have used Icelantic Danollies for the last three seasons and they are unreal, the new ones I am riding this year have a bit of early rise and camber so you can get real pressed out but still stomp. They have really well built sidewalls and a rough carbon top sheet. They dont call them "Bombproof" for nothing!

You can find premium used line skis in your nearest dumpster.
 
I'd consider the Armada THall's if you're interested in the AR7's, they are the same construction and shape as the AR7's but softer so they'll be better for butters. They're full camber though so they'll still be stable and good for big features.

HG Skis, super buttery and poppy but durable as fuck, double the industry standard thickness bases and edges to stand up to rails and hard landings all year. Also one of the few warranties in the industry that covers park skiing.

Whats the weight on the transfer? That ski looks like a blast

Transfer's individual ski weight comes in at 4.20lbs so 8.4lbs for the pair. In grams thats 1900 individual and 3800 paired.

All the HGs are insanely light, the weight of my El's has people trippin all the time, they pick them up and are blown away by how light they are.
 
jskis whipits are insanely buttery. Other than that i can't say anything because i've only ever owned a few pairs of skis.
 
Definitely Al Dente/Edollo's I'm currently riding them and they are the fucking bomb. The butter like crazy but I can still huck off of cliffs when there's fresh

The pipe cleaners are actually stiffer. I was riding a friends AR7's last year and they felt pretty soft compared to my volkl walls.

Oh damn, I guess this this year they are stiffer. Sorry about that.
 
I'd push you to the Talismans, but I'm a bit biased. I loved the ski this year, its a buttery, playful ski but can def stand up to the park and not wash out all over the place. Plus rail damage warranty, thats always a good thing to have
