Edollo Bdog or Whipit

Narrowed my skis down for next season to one of these three. Just trying to have fun, do lots of butters all over with ease, jib around on small stuff and maybe hit up some natural features down groomers when the opportunity presents itself. Riding style is slow and steady and on the easy going side so I wouldn't be hitting any large jumps or charging hard. Only 5'5" 190lb (not growing but hopefully losing some pounds), west coast rider.

I haven't rode the others but I have a pair of whipits. Fun ski. Light and suuper buttery. Durability can be an issue for some though

Id say say maybe B-dog would be your best option. Ive ridden whippets for a few tiny midwest hill laps and they felt like they would fold out and durability seemed shit even after my buddy rode them for 5 days. The b-dog was my favorite (again only for a few quick park laps) but these were my favorite out of all 3. Buttery, durable, stable, and fairly light and jibby. The edollo is my second choice (a few tiny laps surprise surprise) and I skied these in the 178? at 5'9 and they did feel a little big, but they felt a lot more damp and really mobby/edollo-esque. Personally for my style id go b-dog, but if you like edollo and want something a little wider than the b-dog or whippet that would be your best option.

1. B-dog
2. Edollo
3. Whip its

You are comparing narrow skis with wider skis. The Whipit's and ARV 86 are slightly narrower than the other two. I'd say considering you are a west coast rider, look at the ARV 96 and the Allplays instead - those are much closer in width to the Bdog and Edollo. I haven't ridden any of these skis but I know, the Edollo was a big hit when it came out, no one seems to dislike these skis. Also the ARV 96 is new this year and I've seen countless people on them which means they are probably great.
