So some of you may have seen my thread about what size twin tips to get, and I have narrowed it down to these. I don't know which ones to get.

Head the Show 154cm

Line Tigersnake 157cm

Volkl alley 158cm

Rossignol Scratch Pro 158cm

Volkl Ledge 155cm

Line Prophet Flight 158cm

Armada El Rey 157cm

Fischer Prodigy 155cm

If any of you have heard good or bad things about some of the skis above, it would be much appreciated to help me narrow them down.
 
Me being a huge fan of Armada, I would go with the El Reys or the Ar7s. I don't have much experience with the El Reys but the Ar7s are godly. Super buttery and just amazing on the groomers and the park, I would definitely look into a pair of the Ar7s.
 
I had a pair of volkl alleys and abosluetely hated them. They are ripped to shit after only a season. How tall are you and how much you weigh?
 
Ok cool, you got a pretty good choice of lengths here, you could even go up to a 164 if you were comfy with that, but id stay where you are. Id say a 159 tops for you. I know the el rey is a good beginner to intermediate ski which is fairly stiff and sturdy, quick to edge to edge so easier to ski which is also si liar to most of these skis. Honestly, id narrow it down the Head, Tigersnakes, the el reys, and the rossis.
 
Can't go wrong with Rossignol Scratches. Super light and durable.

And I've never met a person who didn't love their AR7s.

I heard they are similar to the ar7's, but the ar7's are a little too big for me. I was definitely leaning more towards the el reys and a few others.

I was probably a bit shorter than you when i got my 161 Ar7s and they lasted a long time. I would probably go for a shorter ski (The El Rey) if you want to just straight up shred for a couple years but if you want something that you can get used to this year and have for the next 3-4 years the Ar7s are a good choice. Completely up to your preference though.
 
Hey guys, I just found another ski in my size range, the Nordica Badmind skis in 156cm. If any of you have experience, or heard about this ski, or any other skis in my size range, your input would be awesome. I'm looking to narrow my list down and get skis within the next week or two.
