What's up people!
Okay, I know theres like 172 threads asking this type of question but I feel non of them follow my budget or what I need.
So, been skiing for a while I like just gooffing around all-mountain but I'm mostly in the park. I really enjoy skiing pow but theres like 1 week max every season here so whatever... I'm not that good in the park and I do mostly rails not sending it too much on jumps.
I wan't a ski with some flex, ideal for park but fun to ride all-mountain (pow not really important).
My budget is < 500 CDN$ (400 USD $)
I'm 5"10, 140 pounds, so I guess 170+ for ski lenght?
I've been looking into Armada ARV 86, Line Honey badger...
Any suggestion or questions would help alot!!
P.S : Pardon my typing, english is not my first language

Need help picking park skis
Arv's are probably gonna be better all mountain skis, but honey badgers are super fun at rails cause they are so light and a bit wider than the armadas.
I’d go with the ARV 96 instead of 86, they would be more fun all mountain.
I would also go with the arv 96 they are wider and more playful and will be better in the long run. You can try going on evo to try and get the cheaper and even to get last years model. I would also go a little bit bigger for you height maybe around 177 ish.

You guys are insane, didn't expect a response that quick thanks I will look into the 96 even tho I found them a litle expensive :/ and I will look for longer skis aswell thanks !!!!!
The arv 96 will be better for you. The Line blend 2019 is on sale on evo and those are also amazing skis

Would you say the Blend are a better choice than Arv 96?
Honestly I have never skied the blend but people say it is awesome. Is has a 100 waist so it is awesome on rails powder and groomers. I would go with the arv if you are doing just park but if you are doing some all mountain and park go with the blend
Maybe the atomic bentchentler 100? Great all mountain ski and decent amount of flex in the tips and tails.

What are you talking about? Blend is super soft and mostly for park (ik that groomers are fun aswell) and arv More stiff and pretty much for everything on the mtn.
i have the Arv 96 and can tell you, it’s super fun carving on them but also jumps and boot deep powder.
Get them, they’re worth the hype
I have arv also but do not get the atomic the other dude recommended

I’d say the bent is a All mountain-ish Arv 96
