I need new skies... I recently made a post about the line future spin shorty skies asking if they were a viable option for me but was told that they were too short. I am 5'5" and 115 lbs. I ski in the midwest (TROLHAUGEN)

and find that rails are more enjoyable than jumps. I dont need skies that are good for powder and spend 90% of my time only in the terrain park. I want skies that are good for switch ups and spinning out. Jumps are something i have to work on so I dont want the skies I am getting to be bad for jumps. 164cm skies is what I have been looking for. Also I dont have the money to buy a very expensive ski so 350 is my limit.

The skies that have caught my attention are:

-armada El Rey

-Line chronic (Really like these)

-Line Blend

-K2 Domain

-armada B-dog

Which of these skies are the best for me? Thanks for your input
 
I personally like sunny skies a lot for rails and jumps, overcast skies can cause flatlight that makes everything harder.
 
Don't forget about Faction 1.0, these would probably be really ideal for you. It seems like you have both soft ski and stiff skis on your list. Find a ski that as the profile that you like. If you ant stiff, stick with a list of stiff skis and vice versa for soft skis. Domain, B-dog and the Blend are soft, while the Chronic is a mid stiff ski, and the El Rey is a stiff ski. Also, these skis all vary in waist width. Find what you want before you list skis. things to look at are:

1. Flex

2. waist width

3. swing weight/overall weight

4. Durability

5.Budget

6. If its a softer ski, how well does it out up on jumps. I wouldn't worry about this for you as you are light weight

The skis you have listed here are all different. Answer the 5 things above and then find skis that are similar to it
