Need new skis

[Pyppe]

So my old skis are getting too short and I think that I need some new ones for this season. I've narrowed my options down a bit but I still feel kinda lost as I can't test any of them anywhere.

options:

arv 94 and 100

prodigy 2.0

chronic 94 and 100

Right now I have some older faction prodigy 1 (2019 I think) and I really like them but would rather have something a bit wider. I like to jib around a bit but I don't want any noodles. I'm about 180cm and weigh about 70kg and I consider myself as a fairly good park skier. I ride about 80-90% in the park and also like to do a bit of all mountain. Would really appreciate some guidance and I'm not limited to those options either.

Since you're in Finland, Faction and Armada will both be easy to get. If you like your Prodigy 1.0, the Prodigy 2.0 might be your best option. If you want to go with Armada, Consider the E-dollo for sure.

Been also thinking about the e-dollo but I can get the arv for over 100€ cheaper but I'm still interested in how they compare

Same with the prodigys, I can get the arvs for over 100€ cheaper

I ski the Surface Harald pro”giver” they are super fun in the park pretty soft compared to arv tho. but I skied the prodigy 2 for a season and they are also great ski maybe a bit stiffer than the surfaces. But I love the givers. Skigarage sells them if you are in Finland

They're sold out for now but I'll definitely look into them too

The factions seem to have a pretty good rep but I've heard that they're a bit stiffer than the arvs so I'm kinda leaning into the arvs since I'd love to learn to butter

I'd also like to get into more all mouuntain and backcountry skiing so would the prodigy 2 be better for that?

I havent skied the arv but i think they are stiffer than the prdigys or thats what ive heard atleast maybe someone can confirm that? and the prodigys loosen up pretty quickly. I skied everything with them worked great

I think they made the new arvs a bit looser but I think I'll go with the prodigy 2's since they're apparently quite good

Go prodigy. The 2's are probably the best in the lineup. I didn't particularly enjoy my 3's. Very "loose" Then again I was using it like a big mountian freeride stick.
