Dilemma...

I recently found out that my armadas were no longer skiable due to the dge cracking all the way through and coming off. Fuck. Now I have narrowed my new ski choices down to LAST years dynastar touble makers phil belanger pro model 176, or this years 4frnt MSP 170. they are two completly different skis, but They both have qualities and disadvantages. I am 110 pounds, 5' 4, and I ski aggresivly, with a mix of park and pow. Cliffs and tables. I'm also skiing switch most of the time on grromers, so i need to know that my ski will do well switch. I didnt go with the stl because its to park oriented, and wont ski powder any better than the dynastar. I fell like quite the noob on this one, but i can make up my mind. Opinions?

Do you do any rails, that's the only thing you don't want to do on tms

depends, if you are mostly in park or on groomers go with the belangers, if you are mostly riding BC go with the MSP. both are super sick, but like you, very different. the MSP is more well rounded tho, the belangers wouldnt be that great in powpow

4Frnts would be sick, they are a pretty solid ski...but I have heard about weak edges on both of them.

I think the 4frnt's would probably be better for the powder and cliffs side of it. But the Troublemakers are good in soft snow too. But I's go with the fatter one.

msp's are way more solid over all, but the tm would be better fore a more park specific type deal, save doing rails.

wow how the hell did you crack the edge on ar5's, shit man you must be hell on them. but if you cracked the edges on ar5's, you would blow the tm's out in about 4 hours. go 4front man.
