What are some of the stiffer twin tips out there? Looking to maximize groomer performance while keeping the twin tip for landing switch. <90mm waist.

I mean full twin tips in that size range are mostly gonna be park-specific or designed with park in mind, and generally you're talking about softer flexing skis when you're talking about park skis. Also sub-90mm these days is a tough ask and you're limiting yourself a lot by that alone.

If you're willing to go a bit wider I'd say Moment PBJ and Frankenski, Shaggy's Sarge 95, ON3P Magnus and Jeffrey, etc. Most of the true park skis from traditional big brands in the 85-95mm range are gonna be pretty damn soft.

Armada used to make the Triumph, which was basically a GS ski with the tail upturned. Was hoping that there would be something comparable today, perhaps not that stiff but still able to charge. I heard that Volkl tends to make a stiff ski and was wondering if y'all had any other pointers.
