So I need to start planning for a pair of park skis for this season. I got a pair of MSP's from last year for my all mountain stuff, so the ski is going to fairly specific to park and slight groomer messing around.
I think I want something soft, but I weigh 170 pounds and am 6' so im starting to think some skis might be too flexy. I say think I want something soft because Im not super expereinced in the park and want to be able to do jumps and rails.
Light weight skis would also be nice, and Im not sure I want really wide skis (say, no wider than my MSP's at 92mm

Ive been looking at Invaders, AR6's etc, but feel free to throw anything, baring in mind I have easiest access to K2, Salomon, Armada, Volkl, Rossi and 4frnt here in Vancouver.

If I can give any more info let me know.
 
havent riddin them but disorderlys might be good suspects iv heard are semi stiff so youd prolly be able to butter them and stuff
 
comor in vancouver carried line last year, and had some invaders, but thats a really soft ski in the tips/tails
 
ya i forgot I also have acceess to line, but arent invaders going to be too flexy? And I heard theyre heavy?

And Ive never heard of Boone skis before. Link/dealers in van/biased?
 
if you think the invader will be too soft, and are looking at line, check out the chronic. Its stiffer and its good in the park, as well as everywhere else, except fresh pow
 
I haven't heard anything about them being heavy although the flexiness might be an issue. They are known as one of the softest skis on the market. You could just buy a big size, which would help stiffen them a bit, or buy anthems, with are 92 underfoot. You say you want something soft, yet not too soft...

You could also look into fujatives and even though I'm not sure if they make them anymore, you can buy older ones. They're pretty durable and, as far as I know, stiffer than the invaders.
 
I think Nordica Super Charger Ignitions would be perfect for you, they are a medium flex and the tips soften up, super butter but still stable coming into jumps and going fast. you should definately check them out
 
And length wise what should I be looking at? Im centre mounting these, and Boones only go up to 175cm, the Moments up to 181.
