Hey NS, I'm currently saving up for a new park ski and don't know what to get. for reference, I'm 5'9" 120 lbs, and ski Mt Hood Meadows. I currently ski the 4frnt devs which I absolutely love but I want a skinnier, lighter ski for the park specifically. I used to have a pair of the J all-plays which I loved so I'm looking for something kind of similar.

Currently, I'm looking into these: ON3p Mango 90, Vishnu Keys, Misfit 96

If anyone can give me some info on how these ride then that would be great.
 
Mango will be a whole lot stiffer than the Allplays, especially if they’re old and softened up a lot like mine

okay. I think I've taken the mango out of the equation because of that and its more expensive
 
Ridden mangos and misfits. Mangos are definitely stiffer and heavier, but super fun shape. Probably real durable.

Misfits are super unique. Lighter, more lively (not as damp), very aggressive camber/rocker profile. Mega fun in tight spaces and in bumps. Can’t speak on their park performance but I bet they’d be fun.
 
I can’t lie man… Keys are cash money. Stiff enough for me to do all mountain n air big landings, but soft enough up front to flex those nose butters out niiiiiicely

(5’10 157lbs)
 
The misfit guys are super accessible. Reach out to them on IG. The Vishnu guy is also super accessible on IG. I like the look of both the key and the Misfit. They both have great price points. Tbh, from what I can glean - the misfit is going to bite a little harder with grip with a flex you can kind of flex through but more backbone overall. Key will be a little more loose but still grip with a more snappy but subdued flex. It’s a bamboo-poplar core. Super distinct feel. Poplar smears if core is milled thinner and bamboo snaps back.

Misfit has their site down for now so idk what their core is but I want to say beech or maple? [tag=286915]@MisfitSkis[/tag]

I think at this point I’m just going to pick solely from top sheet design. There’s not much info on either skis

Misfits are a cool concept but since they are a new ski they have durability issues. Very snappy similar to something like an ON3P but since it’s a very new ski I’m not sure if that’s a safe option
