Hello NewSchoolers!
I'm a boy on 13 years that needs new skis until the winter.
My birthday is on Tuesday and hope to get some money so I can buy a new pair of skis.

My is weigh is about 99 pounds and my length is like 63 inches.
I only ski the park, so I'm looking for a pair of 100% park abillity skis.

I would say I'm a pretty advanced skier. I ump in pretty big jumps and I can handle some big spins and flips (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKrIJb0p-Zw) . My riding style is bulking pretty mixed but I think the jumps is more fun then the rails.

I like light / soft skis. Perhaps not surprising in view of my light body wight. (?)

Been looking around on google, newschoolers, and miscellaneous sites and found two favorites.
But I can not decide wich I shall pick .

the first coreUPT - Candide Yard
http://www.skistore.se/catalog/product_ ... ts_id = 3872

and the second Armada ar7
http://www.skistore.se/catalog/product_ ... ts_id = 1653

Fell for them because I heard that they is light weight and so on.
Tilted enough for coreUPT because of the price but I do not really know if they fit me.

Someone who could help with some guidance in my decision or have experience in any of the skis?

Perhaps there is other pair that fits me better?

Salomon Suspect? I got the feeling that them are heavier than these two but I do not know. (?)

Armada ARW? I read this on skistore --> AR7 But with Softer flex to get the girls going!
One word Describe the ARW: samples. Samples of materials. Samples construction. Proven geometry. The result is performance tests, from the latest movie segment to the contest podiums. Ready for the ski park standard bearer for women? Prove it.

But I read on freeride.se that Arw is some kinde off all-mountin skis. true?

I'm SO sorry about my awfull english! (13 year old swedish boy) But I hopefully will learn more english.

Anybody can help me out there?

Grateful for quick response!
PEACE

the ar7s are goin to be slightly stiff for your size look into the thalls instead, and to choose between the coreupts and armadas; for coreupt they are good skis for the price they will hold up okay, for armada they are quite pricey but you get what you pay for definitely worth it

I'm 5'9 and 135 and i've ridden my girlfriend's ARWs (the old version) and they were very light and very soft, but i was scared to ski them because they felt so delicate. I think they lacked pop and didn't feel like they would hold up as well as AR6s. Personally of your options I'd go for the Candide Yard too. In my opinion most regular camber, mid flex, normal width (82-90mm) park skis are pretty similar so as a general rule i'd just go for whatever is cheapest.
