Magnus 102s or EDollos?

[Awelterego]

Looking for a pure park ski that’s super easy to butter / press / nollie but solid enough to handle 30 / 40 footers. I think I’m between the Magnus and the Dollos.

Thoughts? Advice? Experience with one or both?

FWIW: I’m 5’9” 180 lbs. More of a rail guy but starting to spend an equal amount of time on jumps learning flat spins / corks.

Both are great skis, dollos will be a bit better on jumps with the cambered tail but both will hold up. Lotta guys like hackel and magnus doing dubs on the magnuses

Good looking. You think the Magnus are softer towards the tips? I'm assuming yes but not sure.

Do you have homies with either pair? It would be good to try them to see which you like best because both are good skis for what you want

No they’re not, the Mag isn’t a super soft ski by design. The rocker profile is easy to leverage because of the fact that there’s so much, and if you can put a lot of effort into bending the tips and tails, they can send you to the moon with pop and energy. They’re both solid skis, Dollo probably better on bigger jumps like people have already said.

This, if i was still skiing comps i would def be riding dollos since they are a bit more stable. But jumps up to 45ish feet would be fine on mags from my experience, over 50 got pretty squirrely on the landings tho since the rocker would wheelie you out if you didnt land bolts.
