Hello, so im looking for new twintips, i ski at southern finland.
idk how i calculate ability level, but i can some flips, next year planning on doing more flips and maybe corks. i can do 270 to rail 450 out and so on.

budget 450 ---->

Here southern finland i cannot really ski alot powder, so i'm doing pretty much park. 50/50 on jumps and rails. some good days maybe powder and when boring normal slope few times..

Im 14 years old, 5'4 feet (166 cm), 102 lbs (48kg)

so im looking for playful ski that i can do butter, but still head for bigger jumps. Any ideas? myself im so dizzy with all these skis, that i dont know which ones to choose..

I would use the searchbar on NS before you post a new thread. There are literally hundreds of "What ski" threads on NS. Im sure there are people that are your size and weight who have already made a thread like this...Look at those and then if you have any other questions come back and make a thread.

out of suspect and ar7 deffinitly the ar7. The suspect is known to have durability issues while the ar7 is supposed to be a very durable ski....in the other hand, the k2 domain might be a good ski. fat enough for some powder days, good on rails, durable skis, can handle big jumps, pretty light, and made by a reliable company

could not go wrong with any of those skis except for maybe the afterbang because of its slow base

Koska oot aika kevyt, niin ei ehkä kannata tai tarvi ostaa mitään superjäykkiä suksia. K2 Domain vois olla aika hyvä, niissä on pieni rocker niin se auttaa buttereissa. Afterbangit myös, jos se pohjien hitaus ei haittaa. AR7 on varmaan kyllä myös hyvä valinta, vaikkakin vähän näitä jäykempi.

And in English if others are interested too.

I don't think you need super stiff skis because you're light. The Domains could be pretty good, the rocker makes them easier to butter. Afterbangs are a good choice too if you don't mind the slow bases. AR7s are a bit stiffer but not a bad choice either.
