Hey guys.
I'm a skiboarder. However, I'm soon going to be teaching youngings how to ski. Therefore I don't want to splurge on very good skis, yet I'll still use them to hit up the park after a session.

So what ski's would you recommend for me?

Armada El Reys are pretty cheap and a solid ski for what you need.

line masterminds are a nice cheap option, but they might be a bit flexy for your liking.

Salomon Threats are pretty cheap but The only know about it is the price. There's also afterbangs which are pretty durable.

Lol I know. I have to teach them how to snow plow. I honestly believe thats the worse thing to learn. Such a bad habit, though it is the best option for 3 to 5 year olds.
