New twin tips for an intermediate skier. Reccomendations?

Hey everyone! I’m a pretty good skier, but I’ve mostly rented a pair for the year and didn’t know a whole lot about skis and what skis are good. I’m fully grown and can buy a pair of skis without having to worry about outgrowing them. I would really like a pair of skis that I can use to ride the slope and would like to begin to go to the terrain park. Any suggestions for a twin tip that can do both?

dude my go-to suggestion for skis for this kind of request is Armada ARV96 (let me know if you want recommendations on length) and tyrolia attack 13 bindings. super versatile, high quality setup right there but it's very easy to ski. the attacks are a bargain, the ARVs are very normal priced haha

This. They're dope, I haven't skied park on them but they're super jibby and fun and the shite snow conditions in which I've used them.

If you're looking for a low commitment low-cost ski that will hold up, go for Surface skis. You can't find a ski these days under $400 that won't break first season other than Surface. If you've got the cash for it go for Armada, ON3P, or JSkis.

yeah, OP, if my suggestion is too expensive let me know and we can prob name a few cheaper options. attack 13 is an unbeatable quality/price ratio though IMO

I picked up last years ARV 96 for $355 shipped last August.
If OP is looking for deals this thread has some good suggestions on where to find discounted skis:

Find what looks like a deal and then come back and ask gear talk for the collective opinion on the skis and pricing.
