All right ns I have out grown both pairs of my skis so i need some new ones and need your experienced
opinions. Im 5'5'' weigh 130 and ski 60% park and 40% all mountain I like to ski kinda aggressively. I ski in the middle of Idaho mostly at sun valley. My plan was to get a pair of armada pipe cleaner skis for park and a pair of either on3p kartels or aldentes for mobbing around all mountain and playing in the park a bit. I also like the alpha x and ar7. What should I go with options or stories help and get possible +k

Deciding on new skis
Get some TBKs.
Would you prefer something stiffer or something softer? Personally if I was going for an all mountain specific ski I would go with the Kartels because they're decently stiffer than the al dentes. The al dente's don't rip as hard as an all mountain charging type ski where as the Kartels can slay it in and out of the park.

Yeah that's what i was thinking i mean i want something somewhat soft for good butters and ollies and nollies and mobbing so something that's really playful and somewhat soft but can still charge really well.
I wouldn't say the Kartel is soft, compared to most of the 98-100ish waisted skis I've ridden it's the stiffest. But it has an insane amount of tip and tail rocker which is pretty easy to get up on for butters and such. Also once they start to break in they'll definitely become flexier and that'll allow for some more play but you won't lose that charging ability and they won't flap/chatter at high speeds
