Park Skis

Because you’re starting off I’d go with something like Armada ARV 86 or Line Honey Badger or tiger snakes. If you end up liking the park you could move up to more advanced skis. I’m just starting park skiing and have a pair of tiger snakes and I couldn’t be more excited to ride them this season.

arv86 doesnt belong in that list, it's a top shelf park ski. it's an easy to use ski and would work for a park beginner just fine but it's certainly not a ski that will need to be "moved up" from

re: sizing, OP, it should be around your height, give or take a few CMs. if you won't be going huge and dont have soft snow very often, you can afford to go a tiny bit shorter

I agree there’s thing wrongs with the 86’s but once you improve people typically want a wider ski like the 96 or Edollos But it all comes down to preference. I definitely wouldn’t complain about riding the 86.

give the Surface park blanks a look. super stiff, cambered skis, 90 underfoot, probably will feel very familiar coming from the supernaturals. theyre super light weight too which definitely helps when youre learning

i didn't say there are "things wrong" with the 86, it's a great ski. i said the arv86 doesnt belong in that lower-level park ski list. it's not an "expert only" ski at all and it'd suit a park noob just fine but it is not a starter ski by any means. and 90s waist park ski vs 80s waist park ski is not a skill level thing, that's just based on preference and where you ride

are you thinking of the arv84? that's a lower level beginner kind of ski

Sorry meant nothing wrong with the skis. Typo. And I was just going by the fact I don’t see many 86’s in competitions but I’m probably just not looking hard enough. There’s a guy at my hill with them and he’s the best at the hill so obviously they are a good ski.
