Lookin for a park ski after using my all mtn ski, 186 Jeffrey 108s for the last year. I wanna get back on something a bit softer and easier to whip around. I really miss being able to legit press into butters, hold them, and mess around at low speed. The Jeffrey’s awesome at higher speeds and less techy stuff.

I do hit decent decent size park jumps, so a little concerned about the sidecut on the stranger and Kin, I’ve never had a ski with that tight of a sidecut so I really don’t know if it’s gonna be a big deal or not hitting bigger jumps at high speed.

im leaning toward the kin, just cause it seems fun as hell, but im wondering if the tip/tail shape of the stranger and especially B dog will be nicer for holding and controlling butters and presses.
 
Maybe I should add the mango 100 to that list, especially if I got them custom in a softer flex, I love the dampness and rocker profile of on3ps
 
I'm on a Kin 181 and love it. Haven't rode much park with them though, would rather ski my AR8 (pipe cleaner/arv86) for that. The Kin is super playful, most fun I've had carving groomers switch.
 
actually after thinking about it more, I dont think i'd mind the tight sidecut, especially for 90% of my park skiing being on medium lines, playing around and linking features together, itd probably be nice. Any other similar skis I could be looking at? I feel theres a lot of skis from smaller brands im probably forgetting.

what do you have your kins mounted at?
 
I'm also on some 181 kind and love them. On bigger jumps or when the jump landing is a super cut up they are a little sketchy (but still doable). Small to medium jumps they will be no problem and they are so fun to press/carve around on.
