This is my first season buying skis, I'm an advanced skier, I'm 5'9 180 pounds and I ski the East Coast mostly Killington,with some trips to jay, New Hampshire and Ny resorts. 50%park 50% all mountain (glades,groomers park etc). I've seen good deals on a couple pairs of skis and need help deciding what to get, my budget is pretty low. I've been looking at the
-Armada arv 86/ 96(dont know what width to chose)
-Faction prodigy 2
-K2 Poacher
-Volkl transfer 89
I don't know if 96 mm like the poacher is to wide for an east coast ski, so as a result i should go with the volkl or arv 86.
Let me know which ski to get and also a matching binding.
Give me your opinions and suggestions for other skis
Is 96 overkill, should i go narrower?

Prodigy hands down in my opinion.
do you want a soft ski or a stiffer ski?
The ARV 96 is a fun ski and does ok on ice but if I were planning to ski a ton in icy conditions I'd look for something with a bit more effective edge.
I don't think 96 is too wide for anything though.

ON3P Kartel 96 best ski ever made hands down. Way more durable than all these skis, plus more fun
I'm looking for more of a mid flex, not to soft not to stiff. because I need something stiff enough to stick big landings and carve turns but want to be able to butter pretty easily

poachers have a nice mid stiff flex and you can find them for pretty cheap, if you have the money katel 96/98 would be another good option
