Hi, I am looking to buy new park skis this year. I have refined my search to the 2020 Armada ARV 96 and the 2020 Line Chronics. Right now I'm leaning towards the Armadas.
I ski 75% park and 25% all-mountain, I am not concerned about powder.
I am looking around the $500 range, nothing more than $600.
I'm 5' 6" and weigh about 140 lb
If anyone has a good opinion or suggestions for other skis in the price range let me know!

If you’re buying new anyways don’t forget about the K2 Poacher, although a little burlier than the other two if you’re a smaller skier.

Yea I saw those, they are a little bit wider I believe and I heard they are a little bit stiffer than the Armadas and the Chronics. Still look like good skis though I have been skiing on K2 Presses for a while.

Armadas are much more durable than line. I've grinded bricks on my bdogs and the edges are still in one piece. Line skis have slow bases and thinner edges than armadas.

completely disagree , new chronics are fast and durable. i'm always the guy that starts at the bottom of the inrun and still goes down the landing with ease at the hill.
