Aright so basically I'm going to buy some new skis this year. The problem is I have no idea what to look for. I'm skiing like 95% Park . Im 5 11 180 pounds. I used to ride Salomon Suspect 2010 176. I love those skis as hell but they broke so easily ( Lived 1 season in whistler and theyre all fucked up now.) I'm looking for a pair of skis in the same style as the suspect but that are gonna survive to park agression. I like my skis with flex in it.

ANY HELP

+K for everyone

You should go with the Armada Halo in a 176cm. The hybrid rocker style is quite versatile and after skiing them briefly I was sold. Butters are a bit easier which is nice to help ease progression. Additionally they help up quite well at high speeds. The thing that I was most impressed though with these skis is the durability. Rails, stumps, and various jibs were no match for the bases and edges of these. Highly recommended.
