I need some new skis... Would like a twin twip. I love butters and like a softer ski. Has to be somewhat durable (at least to last me 2 seasons) I like the al dente from armada but they're to big for me I'm only 5 foot 4. I don't know much on sidecuts and stuff but whatever is best for me

Give is a little more info you say your 5'4 but how much do you weigh, how old are you, how long hav you skied?

Also so what do you want in the ski is it just for park? Will you still want to carve round the mountain? Where do you ski? Is it icy or softer?

it would help too if you let us know skis you have skied and enjoyed and why and also which skis you have disliked and why.

How about skis you have ridden. Everyone likes skis of differnt flexes ect so it's easier to advise if we know what style you enjoy. Just looking at various skis won't help much.

Not really no. We can throw names out at you but it's hard to say if they will suit you. All we have are generals about your height weight ect and you want a soft ski bu what do you consider soft? This is why we need to know what you have skied and what you consider soft and stiff.

Ar7 is stiff, idk about durability but line has some softer skis like the LTC or afterbang. I'm sensing your the type of person that's all about armadaz because of henrik and bdog... Maybe the halos or the now called the bdogs

If you like the ar7s or Armada but want a softer yet equally durable version you should look at the Thalls.
