Hey

I am new in here and i seek a new ski. I don't know which too choose.

I ride off piste and some pist but i am planning on going to the park more. Which twintip would you recommend, that would be best in the park - but it has to perform okay all mountain still.

I have been looking at the El Reys - but i don't know if the price has anything to say. Some others is AR7, Salomon Suspect. It doesn't has to be armada or salomon, it could be a whole third brand. Just give me your thoughts haha :-)

I weigh 67 kg and are 183 cm tall

I haven't heard good things about the 2014 suspects (the camo ones) alot of people say they break very easily

Really this is the first I have seen. The suspect gets a really bad rep but it's actually an amazing park/groomer ski. They carve harder then pretty much an other park ski. but they are not great in soft snow. The nfx is in my opinion an even better ski. Hopefully the Solomon park ski bashing will end now that the suspect has been retired.
 
I'm abit confused to what you want. Do you want a park ski? Or do you want a ski that can do everything as well as park?

considering you're new at park I'd suggest a fairly soft forgiving ski but since you want to take it off piste then you'd want something abit stiffer. So you're asking for to much unless you are confident with using a wider stiffer ski. I'd suggest the Kung Fujas those skis are great fun in the park and can do anything.
 
How much powder do you really think you will do. A wider ski which will be good in soft snow will not be great for a new skier I the park. In general I would look at a narrower softer park ski like the infamous perhaps. But if you wanted one ski that could do everything you could look at the armada aldente perhaps although you may find them a bit heavy in the park at first but they will be much better out of the park then something like an infamous or ar7
 
Thx for the answers - but what do u think of the el reys? Heard that they are playfull, yet good enough to carve if needed... Have any of u tried them

I'd second this, I've skied the Infamouses and they were a pretty fun ski, take a look at my review of them here -https://www.newschoolers.com/reviews/3201/Infamous
