I snowboard with a 155 and a 161 so I guess you could say I'm pretty well hung. Working in ski school made me not only nice on skis but I'm probably the best skier on the mountain by now. What I'm looking for is something hopefully rocker and hella bendy was looking at honey badgers but I want these shits to bend HARD

I'm riding some armada something in a 176 and these are alot stiffer and really hard for me to throw down switch nosebutter 7's and I can hardly hold my daffy for 2 min.

1.Is this ski gonna take all I throw at it?

2. How do i rotate further?

3. Can i go down to a 166 being 510 and 170?

You’d benefit from the rossignol soul 7 imo. Great everywhere on the mountain, with emphasis on park

your current armadas are a much better ski than the honey badgers but if you want something particularly flexible i guess i understand. which armada model is it?

i'm biased, not really a fan of Line skis, but personally i wouldn't say honey badgers will "take all [you] throw at it," they'll be fine but again your current armadas will probably be better in that regard. but the honey badgers are fine if that's what you want

as for sizes, your current armadas being almost your exact height are the perfect size unless you aren't very good or just really prefer shorter skis

100% agree on the soul7, also OP if you’re wanting to improve your sw nose butter 7s Line Pescado could also be a really good option
