Key vs bent 100

I’m looking for a stiffer park ski that would be jump focused but still able to do rails. I have a pair of wides and I love them but sometimes I need a stiffer ski on big jumps. I’m in between bent 100 and keys. Which should I get?

I was, but I heard there heavy and I’m worried about that.

Don’t be afraid of heavy skis. They ski great and will make you better and look smoother and more stylish. Light skis are for rails/jibs and touring

This is so tru..especially when landing on/off bigger features
 
The listed weight of bent 100s at 180cm is lighter than the listed weight of keys at 180cm..

Also light skis are great, it’s obviously preference but acting like heavier skis are somehow inherently superior is just turning a blind eye to some seriously fun modern ski designs. Most people I’ve known that prefer heavy skis are either tall, heavy, or both, if you aren’t then there’s not much reason in throwing around a heavy ass park ski just because people on this website said you should.
 
Bents are overrated imo. And Keys are veryy soft by the rest of industry standards. Check out Volkl Revolt, and Icelantic Nomad for a very park capable twin tip.
