I I've started skiing park within the past 2 years, so you could call me a newb.  i can do 180s, switch, occasionally a 360 off a big jump, and medium sized rails.  i have some racing skis now and i need to upgrade for next season to twins, but i want to buy this year. i want to buy good quality so it lasts. i'm 5'8" 125 lbs. ski all mountain- wanting to do alotta park.  i looked at  the 09 armada ARWs, Armada Cantikas, and the 2008 salomon temptress. i've read good things, but i want to know from u all you think.  any suggestions, comments on these skis, or any imput would help alot.  willing to spend up to 500. 

+++karma for helpful posts!!

Thanks alot everyone!

I'm kinda the same as you skiing skill wise maybe a bit better rails wise and I've been skiing for a season so i was looking for kinda the same thing as you this past winter, i was looking into buying the volkl pearls , dope ski overall, they seem pretty stable on decent jumps and not as good as invader for rails but close enough. Ashley Battersby rode em last winter and another friend of mine and she loves em.

right now i have line invaders for park and just when i wanna mess around and k2 PE for all mtn/pow days, I probably do 50/50 park and all mtn so i decided to get 2 skis but if your mostly about park maybe invaders would be good for you too and since you only weight 125 they would be perfect. other options could be fugitives or silencers. if you wanna get into big mtn more but still sesh park eventually maybe line Elisabeths.
