I'm 14 yrs old boy from Finland i need new skis for the season. I am deciding between Faction prodigy 2.0s, Armada arv 96s, line chronics and K2 poachers. I don't know which one to chose. I ski mostly park but i like to ski pow when i have the chance. I like to do butters, nollies etc. I ski everywhere and like to ski quite fast so if you have ideas which one to chose feel free to help. (also if you have any other skis that would fit my skiing feel free to tell me)
Help me decide my new skis

Coming from an arv guy- I think the poachers are going to be too stiff for you if you really like to butter around and I think the chronics are going to be too soft for your liking. The arvs will work in powder but if you plan on center mounting them then it’s not super enjoyable. But if you want to pop around stuff with a solid base but still be able to press and swerve I’d say get the arvs. And you have to think about how much pow ur actually gonna ski because if it’s a decent amount I’d maybe mount the bindings back a little bit.
edit: disregard most of that I forgot u said faction prod as well I’d say get that one it’s got the perfect flex for you and plus they have a great warranty system.

Prodigy 2.0 fromhttps://www.sport-bittl.com/ . Pair them with some attack 13s. Great prices. Free shipping to Finland too ??

Thanks for the answer, I'm not to sure about where I'm gonna mount them my bindings not really sure what the differences are and what should i chose my local shop has always done it for me so not to sure about that. I'm not going to ski that much pow maybe like 2-5 times depending how much it snows but when i have the chance i would like to ski it without my skis slowing me down to much.

Thanks for the answer, thanks for the website they seem to have very good pricing, I have been thinking to get look pivot 15s but thanks for the suggestion I'm not so sure about bindings because I'm not so sure which i should choose. i haven't had a pair of tyrolias but heard great things about them. But I'm not too sure which i should chose looks or tyrolias. Of course there are always markers but i don't know haven't thought about binding's too much.

Ole Hyvä
Oh man there are so many threads on those two bindings. Can’t go wrong with either but don’t get Markers unless you want to splurge some €€€ on the Jesters. I run tyrolias but I also have pivots. Pivots have gotten crazy expensive lately so I can’t really justify the price and performance vs attacks now

I don’t wanna fanboy line too much but Line Chronics are perfect in Finnish conditions, at least in Ruka. I know cus I live there. And they’re 100% not too soft for you, and they have hella pop, and they ski all mountain super well. Still, haven’t ridden any of the other skis so I can only give you a bias opinion.

I owned chronjcs and vouch for them whenever I can. They very playfull and fun in the park and all mountain. There Golden goose of terrain is sidehits, small drops and glades. They do leave something to be desired in snow thats deeper then 4 inches. Can't say anything on arvs

I'd say go for the prodigys. I've heard they are kinda stiff but so are arvs and especially poachers. Chronics have a pretty flat rocker and they seem to snap pretty easily. And yeah sport bittl is a great fucking store just got some prodigy 3.0s from there god bless their sales.

Also if you want a more buttery ski check out the edollos or k2 reckoner 102s. Both can go fast and handle the finnish powder days easily.

I actually have edollos now but i hate the new graphics, and with the 102 i think they Are gonna be to big and clumsy because the skis Are gonna be 5-7 cm to big without ski boots on and they Are quiet wide so Im wondering if theyr gonna be too much

I have had many pairs of factions and love them. Great customer service and pretty soft but not ridiculous. Maybe consider the 3.0 if you like a lot of powder.

3.0 on varmaan vähän turhan kömpelö suksi Suomeen kevyemmälle laskijalle. 2.0 varmasti paljo parempi vaihtoehto.

Joo kaveri laskee reckoneril ja on kuulemma vitun kevyet. Esim joku poacher on aika paljon painavampi suksi. Jos löytyy oikeeta kokoa nii harkitte ihmees reckoneriaki. Ne on kans löysemmät ku mitkään noista sun alkuperäisistä vaihtoehdoista mut pystyy silti meneen kovaa ja hyvät rinteen ulkopuolel kans.

Reckoner ainaki saattais sopii noihin sun kriteereihin paremmin sen puolest et ne joustaa enemmän nii onnistuu hyvin nuo nolliet ja butterit + kelluvat puuterissa varmaan jonku verran paremmin
