Park skis are special skis for doing tricks in places called terrain parks. They're shorter and easier to move around. They have curved tips at both ends for doing tricks backward and landing jumps. These skis are tough to handle jumps, rails, and other park stuff while letting skiers do tricks safely.

Yes, all-mountain skis can be used in the park, but they may not perform as well as park-specific skis. All-mountain skis are versatile and can handle various terrains, including the park. However, park-specific skis are designed with features like twin tips and specific flex patterns that make them better suited for tricks and jumps in the park.

Park skis can be called "pipe skis" or "freestyle skis." These names are used for skis made for doing tricks and jumps in terrain parks and halfpipes.

The perfect size for park skis depends on your height, weight, and skill level. Generally, park skis are shorter than regular skis to make tricks easier. Short skis, also called skiboards, are becoming popular in the park community. They're usually about 65-100cm long, much shorter than regular skis. Skiboards are great for park skiing because they're easier to handle and control when doing tricks and jumps, thanks to their shorter length and wider width.

Skiboards, snowblades, skiblades, bigfoot - call them whatever you want, these short skis are the most fun you can possibly have on a mountain as a skier.

Yes, but they might not perform as well as skis designed for powder. Park skis are typically shorter and narrower, which can make them agile and easy to maneuver in the terrain park. Skis made for powder are wider and float better, so they're usually better for those conditions.

The best ski width for park skis is typically between 80mm to 100mm underfoot. This width allows for good control and maneuverability on rails and jumps while still providing enough stability for landing tricks.

Think about your skill level and how you like to ride in the park. Look for skis that match your height and weight, and make sure to choose bindings that fit your ski boots properly. Pick ski boots that are comfortable and provide good performance.

Yes, park skis are often lighter than regular skis. This lighter weight helps perform tricks more easily in the terrain park.

Yes, park skis are often shorter than regular skis. Shorter skis are easier to maneuver for doing tricks in the snow park.
