So I've got my Scott Missions for the rest of the mountain, but what would you recommend me to use as a pure park ski to make up my quivver. Needs to be a forgiving twin tip, no other considerations neeeded. I'm 5'11 and 103kgs.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

You could also look at Armada, or skis from 4frnt or ninthward. They all make park-specific skis which will deliver better symmetric flex and soft butter zones.
Personally, me in the Park looks like Ashley Giles bowling: an old bloke trying to do something they weren't very good at 10 years ago and now doing it even less competently, but my feeling is that these newer brands will offer something a little different to what Rossi and Salomon have available.
WTFH Line discontinued the Assassin - I think for someone of Kramer's height the Chronic is probably where it's at in their current offering but don't take my word for it.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Are you really going to be in a position where you take a "park ski" out and spend all day in the park? I'm not convinced that this whole "quiver" thing works tbh unless you live at the bottom of a hill and can ski in/out and swop them over.
Sods law says the day you take your "park ski" out you'll see some perfect offpiste and wish you had your missions!!
Cheers,
Greg

kitenski, I was just mulling it over, perhaps for a glacier summer camp?

yoda, I used to have 1080s as an all round ski, but I am no park man! I switched to the mission for more width, length and stiffness

kitenski, I switched to Scott Aztecs for similar reasons, although as I prefer a softer ski off piste I use the "non-pro" version, keeping the Pros for other stuff.

Kramer,
speaking as someone who tends to carry a few too many pounds..... i reckon being a bit lighter might help your jibbing! not that i'm any kind of expert, as soon as i get airbourne i can only think about rejoining terra firma

Kramer, what about a P3?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know it makes sense.
|

comprex, I second that. A fairly stiff park ski, nice all round, and would take the weight. I would think the fugiative is a bit soft for a bigish fella. (No offense Kramer, )

Kramer, the K2 Public Enemies are brilliant: I was surprised by how good they were on glacial ice and they were far superior in the park than the AC3s (unsurprising). Managed surprisingly reasonable air

Kramer, I ride the K2 Fujative in the park, and its still quite fun on pistes, not exactly a decent ski for carving on though.
its tough and can take abuse from rails and boxes, im happy i bought mine:)
