One ski quiver

[NBenson]

Needing new skis next season. I was looking into the ARV’s and Armada BDogs. Anyone got any advice on a good park ski that works in pow. Preferably soft and playful but still very durable

 

[NBenson]

Thanks for the suggestions. Will check them out

One more thing I’m looking for is size. 5’4” and still growing. Should I stay with a youth ski or move up to an adult ski

Adult ski all the way homie, poachers r made in some pretty small sizes same with arv96 , I believe nomads and on3p don't offer too small of a size option tho

They make nomads in 161 and 171, Jeffreys start at 171.

Edited to add; where do you ski OP? 96 waist isn't much of a powder ski.

I’m in Colorado. Not much pow but we got hammered this season. Got through the pow just fine with Armada Codas. Light enough to stay on top. Looking for something around 165 maybe 170

Edollo, arv 96, nomad 95, line blend

surface outsiders 179, second most durable ski ive ever put on my feet

use poachers in 161( Think that is the smallest size don't quote me tho) if you aren't comfortable with bigger skis

if you are still growing tho get skis in the 166 and up range

im in honey badger 166s and next year im on 177s and im only 5'5

i would also suggest honey badgers in 166

What part of Colorado doesn't get much pow?

I'd look for at least 100mm waist if you're going for serious all-mountain chops in Co. Look at the ARV 106, Nomad 105, maybe K2 Marksman? Moment PB&J...there are a lot of options.

What have you skied and liked or disliked before? Any chance to get to a demo day?

Not sure where you’re skiing at, but IMO the kartel/Jeffrey 108 is one of the best one ski quivers out there. Kills on the rails, spinnings chill, fun in powder.

heard the swing weight is really nice

Yeah definitely not the lightest ski, but I managed to spin up to 7 on the 186 and I’m not the best spinny guy

I will check these out. Don’t think I will have much opportunity for a demo day but I will make something work
