I'm looking to get some new twins this seasons, and im looking for something super light. Im tall (5'10") but i only weigh 120 so i use 161s but a lot of skis ive used are heavy (eg. aramda el reys) so its hard for me to do quick spins on rails. any suggestions?

The reason the Armada El Rey is heavy is because it is basically a rental ski with a twin tip.

invaders are some of the cheapest, half-decent skis you can buy. i got a pair for 100 brand new online. and yes they are really light, fun for playing around on rails and stuff. just dont try your first double flip or something on them hahahaha. also, i had a problem landing switch on them, because they're so skinny and soft, but you just have to adapt
