Im trying to choose a buttery park ski and so far ive sort of narrowed it down to these two options: Armada Bdog and Vishnu Wet, Im 5'11 and weigh 136 pounds. What would you guys recommend out of the two and are there any other skis that you guys would recommend.
 
Wets are maybe the softest ski on the market rn if you are looking for straight up flex get those. Bdogs a little bit stiffer but not by much. Wets are an 88 underfoot where as the bdogs are a 94. So good luck trying to ride the wets on some fresh pow, bdogs will be a little bit better “all mountain”. If your ripping park all day get wets

Ok then Wet 189 for your size will be super fun. Not memeing the 189, Im 5'9 and ride 189 because I like more stability. You could also ride a 183 if you want it to be snappier but less stable. I've rode my friends 183 and didn't notice too much of a difference.

I've also rode a bdog, and just kinda found it to be a little lifeless, granted it was like 3 years old and clapped.

Alright guys, thanks for the replies, also are you sure 189 won’t be too big?

Wets/Wides ski short. And thats not a lie. It's the beauty of them. But 183s can spin, twerk, and even the illusive swerve. If you are not sure, guess what they are cheaper than any armada, but for some unknown reason are so bomber its crazy. Just buy whatever you wont complain.

And for the bomber category, im not some urban god. but I get drunk and do some dumb shit in the middle of july, and holy fuck the best bases and edges in the world. Like i treat every pair of vishnus like its not a ski, rather an object i want to destroy. I cant.
 
This season I bought b dogs, rode them for a handful of days, sold them, bought wets instead and have never looked back. The b dogs are just so heavy for their width, they make sense for a heavier skier but that’s about it, I really don’t know why anyone would reasonably choose it over so many other park skis rn. The all mountain performance was fine but even then, plenty of skis that are a cm wider are way better for all mountain and weigh about the same. Go with wets

Wets float great in anything up to knee deep. I have Wets and B Dogs and the wets float better. Underfoot width isn't everything when it comes to float. Wet +'s are also fantastic all mtn skis despite being marketed as pure park/street skis. Great for carving if the snow is soft as well.
