I'm currently skiing 06/07 AR6's and love them, but this season I've been skiing a lot with my GF (it's her first season skiing), which means lots of green/blue runs as she gets her bearings.

I'll occasionally split off from her to go take some park runs, but usually I have to meet back up with her, and at my local mountains the only parks near the easy runs are kiddy/family parks. I'm OK with that as she has totally latched on to skiing and really likes it, but I kinda wish I had a ski that was a bit softer than my AR6's as I'm usually skiing slower on the easier runs and I want something that's a bit softer and more playful for butters and jibbing.

I like the AR6's as a park ski that you can also ski all over the mountain, but for a dedicated park ski I've always liked salomons (Dumont and the SPK especially). I'm looking for something definitely pretty soft.

I'm also not against getting a fatter soft ski. I used to have a pair of Seth's that I loved back in the day, and in some ways I could see myself going back to them, but they're big $$$ and I'm on a budget.

What are some good soft park/twins that I should be looking at?
 
You could check out the Line Anthems, or the Monent Reno Rockers. If you want something fatter but nice and soft for butters you could look at the Line Elizabeths. They are great on the groomers and really fun for buttering and jibbing around.
 
Line anthems, super fun and playful ski.Orrrrrr considering youre on a budget, what about line invaders, even softer and lighter than the anthems.
 
anthems would be good, but also take a look at the kung fujas. with a 95 waist they float in pow and are very soft and buttery, but can rip groomers and park too. sickest and most versitle ski i have ever ridden, hands down.
 
i have both the bacons and anthems. anthems are deffentally softer. they are my fun, jib/play around skis when my bacons are just for pow
 
Yeah, the bacons are not actually that soft, they are more meant for all mountain/powder. They are not that jibby
 
anthems. you can get them for around $250 less at www.sierraskis.com

kung funjas would be good too. alot more versatile.
