Hey guys, i'm looking for a new ski.

Are there skis with whom I can go to the park and simultaneously go off track in some fresh pow? Wondering if there are like combination out here?

Heard that the Black Crows Camox and the faction ct maybe would work.
 
Dynastar Slicer ski is what you want.

Full rocker twin tip with an underfoot of 98mm super playful in the park and ripping some hot laps on a pow day

Could even go Vacation for slightly wider platform underfoot. Wouldn't be quite as quick spinning on rails but would give you the ability to float in deeper pow

How similar are the vacations to the old school Lizzie’s?

the Lizzies are very different and honestly very outdated. They actually had the shape of a carving ski with deep sidecut and no taper, no rocker and a very directional flex, soft tips, stiff tails. I realize at the time Pollard and I created these skis they were ahead of their time, but today they're missing most of the evolution skiers have come to love in the past 5+ years. The Vacations are surfy, they smear awesome and float insane because of the taper in the tips and rocker. They do have a fairly soft flex similar to lizzyish but a much more even flex throughout the length of the ski (Lizzy was stiff under foot and only soft in tip). Remember Jskis.com offers a 100% money back guarantee. If you don't love them, you can return them for a full refund. Thanks for considering Jskis.com !

I want some volkl revolt 95s.

Perfect width for everything imo. And volkls are built like tanks.

Disagree. I rode revolts last year. Imo they're not even close to feeling like a good park ski like the revolt 87 or other park skis in the 90s underfoot. They just don't have the right camber/rocker profile and they certainly aren't built like tanks, my top sheets look like they went through a wood chipper after one season and the edges are easily abused. When I broke my Kartel, I had to ride the Revolts in the best pow of my life and it made me cry inside that I couldn't surf it like on other skis.

I know they just made a revolt 120 or something this year and that seems to be a lot better, but maybe not for inside the park.

Do you ski with your legs together?
 
First three skis that come to mind are:

ON3P Jeffrey 108 (same ski as Kartel 108, just a new name this year) poppy as all hell but also solid, damp and stable

Moment Wildcat 108 (from what I've read) similar to Jeffrey but a little more charge and a little less jib?

Armada ARV 106 (sounds ideal for a park-minded skier that has learned to stray but approaches the mountain like a park)

If you don't get much fresh snow then you could consider bumping any of those skis down to their skinnier equivalents.

Moment PB&J is essentially a Wildcat 101.
