The skis best for me?

[armstrong*skier]

I am 102 pounds, between 5'1 and 5'2 and i want a park ski with lots of flex. i am on rails and boxes most of the time so durability is pretty important. i will be mounting look px 12 jibs on them, which feel fairly heavy, so i assume the ski should be a little on the lighter side. also want a fair amount of pop and the ski must last me 2 years.

 

[=nick=]

169 fujative or 171 thall

will i be able to find any of those like in the summer? ive never tried getting skis then. i need to make some money before i can buy them.

buying off the internet is not an option

I'm sure if you went to some ski shop they might have some left. you should really find a way to get them online, maybe via friend if you can't yourself. other then that maybe a ski swap, but personally i never see twintips at skiswaps anyway

161 invaders but the durability is an issue

well shipping skis to canada would be expensive wouldnt it? they are big, might get damaged, duty, and so shipping+duty makes it hardly worth getting them online because it makes them so much more expensive

definitly not thats a lil small cuz line measures smaller than they actually are id say if he gets a ski like 165-171 tops

I think the fujis would be good, just that I know 2 guys who have had ALOT of problems with thiers. Look into some 171 invaders, or 167 Scratch Sprayer FS

are the armada t-halls light and flexy? what do you think the price range is in canada?

 

[Dustin.]

the t hall is very light and flexy. you would like it a lot. the AR5 or AR6 is a bombproof ski as well. would definitely last you a while, though not as soft as the t hall

 

[armstrong*skier]

anyone know the price range in canada?

well, i got mine for 490$ with px12 bindnigs from a shop near me. so about 350-450 for just the skis. I bought mine over the summer.

as for flexy, theya re really soft. but not THAT light. i found mine to have a heavy swingweight, but light overall.

how about canadien ski sites? i know i said that it wasnt an option but if i did find some really cheap t halls on a canadien site, i might look into it.

thanks
