Looking for some ski advice

Hey there. I'm another person looking for some ski advice, so any input is greatly appreciated.

I'm 18 years old, 5'9, and 125 lbs and I'm a type 3 skier. I'll be skiing the pacific northwest area.

I'm looking for an all mountain park ski. I'm thinking a 106 underfoot, but I could be compelled otherwise. I mainly do park so I am afraid of getting a ski that's too much work to ride, but I also want to be able to use it for pow days on those rare occasions.

I've looked at the prodigy 3.0s and the armada arv 106 uls. The arv's seem like arw 106's but lighter and slightly more flexible which I think would work great in the park for swinging around. I have a budget around $800 CAD, I could go over but there better be a really good reason for that.

Thanks for any help.
 
You and i are basically the same height/weight/ski ability so i’d 100% go for the on3p jeffery 108, it’s what I ride on days when I want to charge hard and it does everything I want it to

wait no scratch that I just read that you want to ride park excuse me for being slow ? , go for the vishnu wide it’s my other ski in my quiver and like i said above it does everything i want it to, sometimes even more
 
Where do you ski? Do hit mostly jumps or rails? A 106 can be really fun in the park but they will be a little harder to swing around on rails. If you mainly do park you could go in the 95-100 range and it would be fine for all mountain skiing as well depending on your resort

Probably recliner 102 in a 177. Throw some attack 13s on there and save the other $300 for a nice jacket or something? Prices on corbett's are in CAD so that $490 is more like $390 USD.

K2 should probably introduce a new ski for us lazy heads called the recliner. :)

I just grew tired of correcting the auto-cracked so recliner it is...reckoner is not a very good name anyway...kind of getting close to Rossignol territory.
 
I say just read some reviews on all the skis you are thinking about and which ever one you like the best and you think fits you the best as a skier get that one

Oh shoot I mixed them up. I looked at the armada arw 106 ul skis (Their the women's version of the arv 106's) and they have unisex sizes. Their a lighter and a little more flexible version of the arv 106's.
