Hi everyone!

I'm an amateur freestyle skier who rides mostly in Ursus Snowpark (Madonna di Campiglio, Italian Alps)=medium/big park features, almost no pow.

My measurements are: 186cm, 85kg (6,1ft, 187lbs). My skill level is I would say "medium": I can ride all the jumps the park has to offer (from 1 to 20m) and can trick on 3/4 of them, I hit rails too. I am improving my skiing as a tourist can do, skiing a few days per month.

I have my trusty Volkl The Wall 2012, 177cm (too short for me now).

I'm looking for a park ski "solid" enough to help me (with my not so fine tecnique) improving on big jumps but a bit more playful if compared to the old Volkl The Wall, also a lightweight ski will be welcome. My budget is below €480.

I like a lot all tech features/points that Volkl provides: weight and shape balance, the lite swingweight, the support provided on landigns, the lenght of 186cm and the "new" shape (sidecuts and camber-rocker), the price is good too. I found the Volkl to be also quite durable.

My fear is that a ski like the Revolt 90 will be too stiff and so not so enjoyable for my skill level.

In the other hand I'm curious about the playfulness and the larger base provided by the Edollos but I dislike the max lenght (180cm) and possibly the weight.

PRO Revolt: lenght, weight, balance, stability, tech features, price.

CONTRO Revolt: too stiff?

PRO Edollo: well rounded capabilities, flex pattern-playfulness, larger base.

CONTRO Edollo: LENGHT, weight, price.

If the Edollos had been available in 188cm I would have pulled the trigger on them...

My trust in Volkl is not to be ignored.

Any tips based on experience?

Any chance to find a pair of Edollo 188cm?

Thanks
 
Get the 186 Volkls, especially if you can find them cheap. The Bdog is definitely softer but any ski is going to be fine once you've been on it a few days, if not right away.

I'ma bump this for the homie only on the sole reason that this is how to ask a ski question.

My only weigh in, ski a ski that can help you progress. And typically thats the softer one until you are a beast and feel em wash out
