I am a skier whose just getting into park and needs a ski that is stiff with pop but can also butter. My level of skiing is good, I can ski anywhere you put me, except large+ park. I can do all none kinked rails/boxes. I just learned to stomp 360 off medium jumps. So thats basecally what I can do as of now. I got the season pass at big white and im looking to go about 3 times a week and i need a ski that can not only go all mountain but good in park. I will be in park all the time unless there is some pow, then ill go all mountain.

My current skiis are the Armada ARV 165 cm and are too small now. I am 152 lbs. 5'11" and Im gaining weight fast, gained 10 lbs in just over 2 months so far. Looking for a true twin tip. Any suggestions? Thanks.

the anthems sound like what u want. 178 id suggest.

maybe the atomic patent if you often get pow and want to ride park.- cuz its a little fatter.

id look into those if i were you.
cheers

idk due anthems are symmetrical which means youre gonna wanna center mount them.  that wont be ideal for pow.  i assume white gets a decent amount of snow so you may want to reconsider anthems.

Do you like your ARV's? If so, stick to something similar.

K2 Kung Fujas and the Surface Watch Life seem like pretty solid options.  Park skis, but a bit wider too.  Also, if you like the ARV's stick with them, just get bigger ones.

how about the kung fujas? they kill it everywhere.

armada ar6 if u want to go narrower.

maybe k2 seths, but they are a tad heavy.

or the on3p jeronimo. but i have no real expreience with them, on3p just seems like a really legit company, that is for the people and skiing for the love of it.

i ski mostly park but all mountain on pow days like you, and i was reccomended to ski on the fischer addict.  its a stiffer ski and true twin tip.  i think that fischer still has last years in stock so if you ask a fischer dealer you can probably get them for cheap
hope i helped

i would suggest coreupt tj pros they are the highest rated for all mountain when it comes to a true twin and they are only 350 dollars! the other option would be atomic punx but they are not as good all mountain. you could look into line anthems another decent park and all mountain ski

I like my ARVs but new ones for 600 bucks i prefer not. 399 is already pushing it with the anthems. I will keep my armadas just in case for pow days and hope for cheap bindings on tramdock
