Hello, a bit of background I am looking for a new pair of skis. I have unfortunately missed last season and half the one before, had tore my acl, my surgeon does not want to do surgery yet. But been feeling quite comfortable in brace and I am confident I can ski this year. I currently own a pair of line chronic 2018 and I like them soso... however I am pretty short and lightweight . looking for something reliable and fun at the same time. If you have any recommendations pls help me out !

I have to recommend armada. The bdog or a wider ARV never disappoint. I recently tore my acl as well and the ARV 96 has been a smooth, playful ride.

Looking for something good in powder and all mountain. I usually ski park but i will probably have to avoid that for now. I find they chip quite easy. i want something ghat will last! they're also not the best when it comes to hard pack or in spring conditions! i did find them fun to ski with overall but looking for something different

If http://www.slopestyle-ski.com ships to Canada, they have some great skis and bindings on there for sale well within your budget. I think the icelantic maiden 101 is on sale right now, has an amazing graphic, and would be great for just boolin around the mountain...
