Stiff Park Ski?

[fsscott]

I tried to search for this, but all I got were some all mountain ski's or some old ones.

I'm 6'4, 166 pounds, so I need a ski that's close to around 180, and I was wondering which would be the best park ski that's stiff...

Thanks NS and karma++ for good feedback!

 

[Franny]

Dumonts would work for the park.

gear talk forum btw.

 

[dave44]

Public Enemies are like 2x4's

 

[fsscott]

Crap my bad wasn't thinkin bout that!

I heard the Fischer Addict Pros or the 4FRNT TNKs were pretty stiff...

 

[BEARS.]

why would u want a stiff ski for park?

 

[Oetk]

chronic in a 181

 

[Silence]

Try and find an older Head Mojo80?

Also yeah Addict Pro's would be a good call

I have the dumonts, and they are way softer than my AR6's (a few years old now), but they still maintain a ton of pop.

i weigh 190 though so it would be stiffer for you. my AR6's were very stiff, so were my (way older) Public Enemies

Elan reverts, the stiffest ski your going to find

Buttery skis are fine for doing butters. However, if you are hitting large features or skiing a lot of pipe, the extra stiffness is very helpful as it provides support, and the skis won't wash out on you when you don't land perfectly.

People have this odd notion that all park skis should be complete noodles, but if they tried something stiffer, I think they might notice that it makes it more enjoyable on large features.

addict pros are sick, highly responsive, stiff, and poppy. TNKs are absolutely NOT stiff, they are noodles, i know this cause i had them for a little over a month this season and didn;t like them. Chronics are also pretty good, and look into pipe cleaners. there's a really amazing deal on addict pros right now that i would hop on before they run out:

Volkl walls or newer PEs older ones are more flexy.

 

[phishfood]

i'm 6'4'' and 170 i'm in the same boat lol
I use PEs for all mountain, dont have a designated park ski yet
i'd say volkl walls, dumonts, or PEs if ur not gonna be in the park too much

 

[readiculous]

werd, volkls are notoriously stiff, just make sure you get the "made in Germany" not the "made in China."

 

[JEWbacca]

u could go for armada's or 4frnt. not salomon tho, there a good ski but not stiff. hope i could help.

 

[Lemuel]

they arent bad because they are made in china. thats just a typical steriotype about things being made in chine. i have invaders that are great and they the quality is good on them

 

[Powdered_Donuts]

addicts ftw

 

[Ryanvdonk]

no offense, but you're pretty small, and ski out east, so you're not going to put the same stress on the ski as someone who's 160+lbs and hitting 50+foot tables regularly.

find some old volkl karmas... or public enemys / extremes

 

[Mex_LineJib^a]

volkl walls, dynastar trouble makers, line chronics, line blends, head jo pros

 

[i.ski.troll.]

deff go with the Volkl Walls or the K2 Extremes

both sick skis

 

[b-kul]

or a 6'4'' kid? probably not.

 

[i.ski.troll.]

yeah he would fold the dumonts in half lol

 

[Luc.]

volkl karma 185.- hella stiff. nice and long. amazing ski. only thing is, is that u will have to work to find a pair.

line chronic-181/...kinda short for u. but still a nice stiff(er) ski.

head mojos if u can find em. kind of a dead ski but stiff and likes the park.

Public enemies-a softer and toned down model of the karma.

salomon foil-comes in a 182 i beleive? this will be harder to find as well, but a solid ski with a nice flex patern and moderate one ski quiver ability.

at ur size, u might even be able to get away with a seth morrison pro model. they arent crazy stiff, but with their added girth they will make up plenty with the stability. u could most likley get away with a 189 anyways. (measures like 194 or somethin really close)

hope that helps.

 

[phishfood]

dumonts are pipe skis though. they're fairly stiff

 

[GatoGordo]

He is not saying that all skis made in china are bad, but the volkl skis made in china are known for breaking easier. The ones that are made in the german factory are a lot more durable.

 

[brenker]

trouble makers are dumb soft,

i would go with either volkl walls or head mojo 90s
