Hello NS. been doing some searching the past few days to try and figure which is best out of the Magnus 90 and 102. I haven't been able to find anything on youtube and only seen a few reviews on the individual skis on here. I ski in Whistler and recently had the heel piece binding rip out of my Kartel 98's from last season... RIP, Lest we forget. This ski will be used 85% in the park. I know on the website it has the option the park detune the 102's but that option doesn't seem visible for the 90's (just standard detune). Im happy to see this as an option as the edges on the Kartels cracked in a few places (one being pretty damn bad lifting the whole edge up). I am just just under 6" and weigh 170lbs. My Kartels were 176cm. I will be going with the 181cm. My main thought is if the 102's are too chunky heavy and wide for the park. I will already be sizing up in terms of the length from 176 to 181. Is the width a big jump for a park ski too? Please help if you have either of these skis! Any feedback in good stuff. Cheers
 
I just got the magnus 90's, only used them once so far cause no snow ever but I like them. The edge detune is intense underfoot, it's really nice. I don't know why everyone seems to be buying wider park skis, it's just more to throw around and slow edge to edge.
 
Really depends on preference. I've been on the Magnus 90s for 2 seasons now and love them (Riding MN/Wisconsin-all park). Still, guys like Meeks and Ian King ride the 102s and seem to have no issue.
 
Thanks for the insights. Also how do you find the flex pattern on them? I assume they will be pretty similar to last years Kartel 98s with the Kartel being a little stiffer, but how do they do on jumps? Still feel stable when landing and not worried about washing out?

if you scroll down a bit the flex pattern is displayed. I've been quite comfortable on them for jumps, although 80% of my park is hitting rails.
