I know I like armada AR6 and Rossi scratches. Didn't like fisher or K2. It seems like park skis have changed in a bit since I last bought skis. I'm kinda old school park rat so I like stability of a true slopestyle ski but not gonna often be hitting jumps over 50' anymore and the butter stuff seems a little more attractive. If I like 180cm center mounted skis would I be better off in like a 184 with early rise? I'd like to be able to press a bit easier but don't want to be washing out on mid-ish to big-ish jumps. What brands ski similar to Armada/Rossi that aren't? Faction, 4frnt and vokl kinda look right to me as far as shape. I'm now in the Midwest do don't get a lot for demo skis.
 
Are wider skis more stable on rails? It seem like more stuff is mid 90's now instead of mid 80's underfoot. I'm curious about advantages, I assume wider better in spring.

Yes, I slid a couple rails on my 118 underfoot beaters and it was so incredibly easy

If you want to hit rails or jumps stay away from 4frnt. I’ve had terrible experience with 2 separate pairs of 4frnt skis that couldn’t last a full season. They were fun to ride but offered nothing for durability in the park.
