Looking for a light park ski

My ARV 86s are pretty much dead and I need new skis. I'm looking for something thats nice and light. I'm 6' 150lbs. I can't do anything bigger than 360s and 270s out yet but I like the idea of getting rotations around quick with out a lot of effort. I prefer rails to jumps so something thats soft and playful is a plus, but not too soft that it becomes in issue for jumps down the line. I ski in Ontario if conditions matter. Honey badgers seem appealing but really I'm just looking for any advice. Thanks
 
Surfaces or lines, both very light, very playful, and don’t last long lol. Had some line TWs that were very light and super fun in the park but not great all mtn. Now I’ve got a pair of surface uppers that are great in park and all mtn with a perfect flex for stability and butters but their base durability isn’t great. Already had to buy a new pair since I destroyed one. (See pic) but they’re so fun I had to get them again

B dogs are not light skis at all, for only being 94 underfoot they had a similar swing weight feel to my faction prodigy 3s and my RMU apostle 105s.

If you’re looking for light, vishnu wet/wet+, surface royale/giver, faction prodigy/studio 1, RMU rippah/apostle 96, heard good things about liberty as well. New armada ARVs are light on paper but apparently fall apart faster than Lines so I’d avoid both brands for park skis rn
 
fatypus d-root and l-toro are probably the lightest skis I've ever ridden. even with pivots on them they still feel leagues lighter than anything I've skied prior. And they hold up great over time. the only other skis I've ridden that come close are from liberty

Are they durable? My mango 100s are hanging on for life after only being ridden a month
 
Obviously depends on how hard you are on skis, but I will say I've put mine through just about everything imaginable, grass, rocks, cliffs, trees, jumps and rails and they've held up amazing. A few reparable core shots and top sheet chipping which is expected but no edge blowouts or delams. I think anybody that rides fatypus can attest that they are very durable sticks

K2 Poachers only come in at 2140g per ski, possibly the lightest ski on the market

Is this supposed to be a joke? Poachers are great skis, but they are famously fairly heavy. Note that on this comparison chart, The poacher is the second heaviest out of 5 comparable skis, the only one heavier being black ops 98 which is 8 cm longer.

Allplays are super playful but they are not light, they are almost the same exact weight as poachers. That being said, heavy and playful is the best combo for park skiing IMO
