I live in the midwest and unfortunately don't get out west very often, however I make regular trips to the ski hills around here. I have a pair of old line step-ups that are doing fine but I would like to get a new pair of primarily park skis, preferably a little on the softer side seeing as there aren't any massive jumps out here. I was thinking Moment Vice's or OP3N Filthy Rich's but open to any suggestions. Thanks.
 
i currently have both and ski at granite peak. the moments are fun on jumps and a little more flexy in the tails more of a jump orientated ski i feel. on3ps are gonna be close tothe moments with tail flex but for sure a lot flexier in the tips. on3ps are fully symmetrical and moments are 5 cm shorter in the tail. also momet vice edges are 2.2 mm while on3ps are 2.5 so if your doing more rails on3ps will hold up better. if your gonna being going around in the side country the on3ps are wider obviously so they will float a bit more. I have found that my on3ps chatter more on hardpack when going fast than my vices do. both are great skis and opn3p has great customer service. not saying moment dosent i have just dealt with on3p more and they are super cool

long story short:

if you go fast on hardpack and hit big jumps and a few rails go with the moment vice

if your hitting more rails and jibing anything and everything in sight go on3ps

both are great skis and im probably gonna buy the vices and magnus next year (magnus is replacing the filthy rich)

good luck

awesome man thanks a ton for the advice
 
Take a look at Volkl ledges. Ive been riding them and love them. Softer flex, symetricall which i love, and just an all around solid park ski
