Hey, I'm 5 5 and 110 lbs. Lookin for CHEAP twins.
Basically I've narrowed it down to these.

164cm Line 1260's
or
160cm Armada Ar5 (Black/green with the eagle.)

Thoughts?

P.S. where should I mount em? Skiing about 50/50 mountain/park

iono guys hes pretty light for a all mountain 178 ar5. hes only 110 pounds on a 178 ar5 plus he does 50%park. that doesnt work bro. he needs like a 165 about maybe 144-166. not bigger. iono thats just my thoughts.

seriously just go with what you think you can handle. Longer is always better in many people opinions and I prefer long skis, but you are light weight so if you dont think you could tear it up with 176s, try 171 AR5s or less

Thanks for the advice. I also want something light. Are the ones I picked pretty light? What else could I go with?
