HI NEWSCHOOLERS, I am new here so hello. I ski in PA and occasionally goes to VERMONT. I am a TYPE 3 skier who can ski anything. I am looking to get a bit better at park while still being able to cruise around and go fast around the mountain. I will be skiing around 30 percent park and 70 percent all mountain.(I still want my ski to be playful around the mountain) I have been looking at the Armada ARV 96 and the Armada Bdog. I am 5’4 and 125 pounds. I have notice that the Bdog review made by twig (who is 5’5) describe the ski to be a good performing park and all mountain ski. So since I am very light and short, maybe the bdog could perform well around the mountain since it also is playful. Since I live on the Ice coast I want my ski to be able to hold an edge during icy days. Which ski would you recommend between these two, other ski recommendations are appreciated :)

if your 70% all mountain, the arv 96 is probably a better choice. I’d also recommend the fauna omni that comes out next year. Playful rocker and all mountain capable. Also go read the new roofbox on the season kin. Looks like a solid choice for ya as well

Didn't your English teacher ever tell you how bad it is to start off all your sentences with "I"?
