For the park at Timberline. Or any other park skis that might be better I like to butter and have about 400 to drop. I can get the armadas for cheap tho thanks!
 
If you rly wanna butter than go with the honey badgers, I felt the flex’s on both the other day and the arv are stiff asf.
 
If you can get the arv96 for about 400 definitely do that over the honey badger. The HB is line's price point park ski and you will regret buying it in about a year.

ARVs, honey badgers will get destroyed, used to ride AR7s, Armada's full camber park ski, I ragged em for about 3 years and they would've lasted longer had I not caught one in a tube at a dry slope and snapped it, ARVs construction is very similar (I replaced the AR7s with last seasons ones on sale) they're super fun man, the wider platform is awesome and they butter, did my first NB3 on them only a couple weeks ago. Honey Badgers are fun but if you got the cash for ARVs get them, or look for some second hand pairs on here and have the best of both worlds
 
Eh ARVs even though they aren't great for buttering. I don't trust Honey Badgers. I'd shop around more and see what else you can find for $400 otherwise.

Are you only shopping on Evo or something? Those are the 3 skis evo has like under $400. There are much cheaper places to find skis dude.

Candides look great, but I've heard poor things about Faction's durability... I'd got ARVs over them, but honestly man, check out some of the stuff on the BST threads in here. Would have copped so many skis from it if I wasn't English and they're all in the US...

BST thread? Thanks for the help!
 
if you can get the ARVs for cheap i say 100% do that, theyre a nasty all around park ski that you can ski the whole mountain with. no idea why someone above said theyre stiff because they aint

but yes you can find some great options if you peruse the BST forums

Yeah lol, people are acting like they're Kartels or some comp park ski. They definitely have more flex than skis like that. I wouldn't consider them a buttery ski however.
 
I recently got the 96's and I like them a lot and they seem to be a much better ski overall than the badgers (slight bias) so another vote for T H A N O S D O G from me
