OK, im 5'4", weigh 110 lbs, and im looking for new skis. ive skied park for two years and ive used the same pair of invaders for both, so im looking for a buttery ski. im looking for either armadas or afterbangs/ other line skis

The armada ar7 would be good for you. It's a buttery ski but is still stiff enough to go off 60 ft kickers. I have the kid version of them (coda). And I love them

K. Than the line masterminds would actully better than the ar7. They are SUPER light and have virtually no swing weight. Thayer are awesome for the newer skier looking to progress in the park

I would heavily advise u to stay away from the afterbangs. I had a pair of shorties and half way through the season the got water logged. Also my friends pretty much snapped in half. I am a lot happier over at armada but the decision is up to u

Don't listen to this guy, he obviously knows nothing about ski construction or quality. Ar7s are built with much huger quality materials then any line park ski, and have the 50/50 side wall, side wall under foot for strength, cap in the tips/tails to cut down on in needed weight. They also have much faster bases then the pieces of shit that line uses because they don't know shot about what makes a good ski.

If this is Line vs Armada and he can't afford Armadas, whats the point of this thread?

Also I've owned 2 pairs of Invaders, a pair of Anthems, and a pair of AR6s and the Armadas were wayyyy better quality and a better ski in every aspect except for butteryness. But if your looking for a buttery ski go ahead with Line, they're fun at least

Oh yeah. But buttery is relative, I'm light so who knows how they work for you. I didn't think they were stiff just not as buttery as anthems/invaders
