Aight, so i've started about a thousand threads like this, but hopefully this will be the last. Basicly im open to anything but these are the specific ones im interested in. I want a light poppy ski thats pretty narrow, snappy but still butterable. Here are the ones I'm thinking of:
This Years:
4frnt Stl 183
Armada Ar5 181
Ninthward Butterlicious 180
Liberty Stealth 180
Next Years:
Fischer Addicts
Dynastar Trouble Makers
Im 6'4" 190 lbs.

what about rossi scratch bc....with ur weight and height, u could handle them.
but if you want a narrower ski, rossi scratch FS in a 180 is nice too. they are stiffer, and a great ski

Do research, demo, and you'll come a conclusion real quick.
