I am looking for new twigs. I have grown out of my Line Honey Badger 2023/2024. I am looking for a ski that is playful and buttery. I have three skis in mind as listed in the title. Firstly, Armada Bdog. This ski seams to be a fit maybe even to flexible. but, I am woried about the all mountain capability. Second Armada Edollo. This ski is seems to be a perfect fit for what I want and I am leaning towards it. But the width is intimidating as I have never had anything that wide before. Lastly, Faction prodigy 1.0. I am intrigued by the all mountain capability. But I am worried they aren’t as flexible as I want (I want something at least a little more flexible than my Honey Badgers). I am 5 foot 7. 125 pounds. I ski a ton in the park in the Midwest Michigan specifically. However I go to Colorado often and mostly ski out of the park there but I am incredibly playful when doing so. Any suggestions, recommendations or want to back up some skis I listed. Please do so, I can’t decide!

For your weight prod going to be fairly burly. Bdog probably your best bet. buddy shreds all mountain on his no problem.

Way stiffer than the honey badger. Bdog softest one you mentioned but still very capable.

v wets or surface royales, especially at your size and weight, are going to actually be a soft flex like the honey badgers. key/give’r if you want better all mountain performance

Also would they be better all mountain and on jumps than the wets?
