So I made a post about a week ago on what skis to get from this year for next season. I looked at all the suggested skis and any other skis I could find. I have narrowed down all my choices to the ones I like most. Please give me some advice on which one to get.

170 Ninthward Firstbloods

170 Liberty Choppers

170 Armada AR5

166 or 174 Saloman Foil

I am 5’ 6” and 125 pounds. I am 15 so I plan on growing a few inches and gaining some weight before next season.

 
^ depens on where you spend most of your time. the bloods are a fat ski for the pow. the mik is more park/all mountain.
 
my buddy is a rep and he rides the choppers and he loves them, theya re stiff, light and have tons of pop!
 
Also, I dont think I will get much taller than 5' 10' because my parents arent very tall, and also I dont like my skis supper long. And if it helps I forgot to say that I ski east coast, and I ski park a lot but also like to ski all mountain.
 
The AR5's are more for rails and jibbing as well they are so flimsy

Liberties are wicked durability wise, and they are on the stiffer side.

The firstbloods are also sick but i dont know much about them

Dont go with the salomon
 
the Foils WOULD be perfect but if u want them for more than one season they will get shaky ie. foam core So go AR5 duuuuuuude
 
that's one of the most rediculous things that i have ever heard......

anyway, i would go for something like pe's b/c theyre cheap as shit brand new and handle everything. like its been stated, you dont want to buy something really expensive until youre close to ur max height.

i used to do season "demo" rentals when i was short and i got to try out a bunch of skis ie pe's, scratches, tm's, for cheap, all season long. check and see if ur local shop has something like that...
