the mango 100 is spendy but will last and is a amazing ski, they stiff but if you put force into your butters they’ll be easy. i was 16 5’8 this season and i never noticed them being too heavy. good ski for both rails and jumps

thank you for your recomendations but they are realy expensive. i would buy them if i had more money for skis.

They are soft in the noses and tails but stable under foot the triple camber really helps and they were surprisingly super light.

They are some of the stiffest park skis on the market. If you can ACTUALLY butter than you should be able to butter most skis with ease tho
 
Where you skiing? Availability of skis will affect what skis you get, as well as conditions. I’m assuming you’re in Europe so will probably be buying from a website like Sport Bittl

so that means even if i dont know how to butter perfectly i can still learn on them and have fun on them even if they are so stiff.

They’re heavy and stiff. If your style of skiing is going big, jumps, and deep landings then they’d def be fun for you. Learning your first butters on stiff skis could also help you out in the future if you decide to get softer skis later on

Do you have a budget?

yea it would be great to buy as cheap as posible if i find good skis for good price but if not my budget is around 450€ because bindings are also expensive

Depends on how hard u ski. I don’t know of any park skis that will go for that long if ur actually skiing park

okay that helps a lot. i realy like it surface giver. do you have any recomendations for the binding (marker or look)
 
Just make sure they ship to your country. Not all companies ship to every eu country

Volkl has some great offerings in the Revolt series and K2 has great offerings in the Reckoner series.

It's hard to say which will be the best for you without knowing more about your style of park skiing and typical conditions

that you ski in.

yes i realy like k2 reckoner and i think it would be good for me but i dont know how durable they are because some people say if you hit rails they fall apart and destroys

thats interesting. but are poachers still playfull skis then ?
Click to expand...

They are not that playful to answer your question compared to other park skis at least. You will probably not be doing a lot of swerving on poachers

Everything will fall apart if you ski hard enough.
