Help me find a ski

[A-Mac.]

I've been looking for a ski to ride next season recently and I can't really find anything. I'm 5'8 170lbs and I want something I can butter and just have a lot of fun on rails with, but also hit a little jumps. Due to my weight I could probably go with something that is a bit stiffer and still butter it fine. Also price is a factor here. I would rather get a ski that is affordable (so basically 2013's only) but if I had to I would spend the extra dollar. I'm looking in the range from 170 - 175. Give me some recommendations NS, Thanks!

Well, I think the armada thall might work for you. I dont think you would be super stable hitting big jumps on it, but small jumps and rails would be fine for you with this ski.

Armada THalls sound like they would be a good fit for you. Atomic punx are also an option, though they might have more flex than you want.

Definitely considering the THalls. Also found a pair of line chronics for a good price, considering them as well.

Both seem to be what you're looking for, also maybe consider the line step-ups, they're are kinda stiff and more for jumps but u might be able to pull them off.
