Guys, I need ur opinion. I want to make a budget Park setup for a beginner (me). I have the option to buy a secondhand ski and binding for about 300 bucks. I found a armada arv 84 2020 and a tw pro 2022. I will probably find more in the future. The other option is to get a new prodigy 1 or a revolt or something similar in a sale online for about 400 bucks. But then I need a way to get some cheap bindings. I don't want to spend too much money cause I don't spend a lot of days in the park. What do o you think?
 
i’d get the whole set used if you can, but the one that is beat up less between the arv and the TW

Are you a fully grown human? The ARV 84 is a junior ski...the 86 is the narrow adult version.

Looking at the narrower Revoltshttps://www.corbetts.com/2023-volkl-revolt-84-skis/

Those are like $230 USD...the prices are in CAD but they ship to the US for free.

I can't find any super deals on bindings, nothing under $150ish.

Dont get junior skis get real big skis like 180cm skis so if you grow you can use them many years its good Investment in long term

For $100 to see if you want to get into park skiing is probably a good way to go though.

OP what other skis do you have? How much do you weigh...weight is more important than height when determining if you can get away with a junior setup. What K2 ski exactly are we talking about for $100?
