Hey NS! I'm 5' 7", 105 lbs, a type III all mountain skier on the west coast looking to delve into the park scene as much as I can this year. I'm settled on buying an Armada ski but what size + model should I get? The AR7, ARV, or El Rey? Thanks for any advice and feel free to ask me anything about what type of skier I am; I really wanna make sure I get the right ski. :)

LOL I try, I try. I'm predominantly Asian so the food I eat isn't high in fat so I don't build up too much, nor do I gain weight. I work out when I can though! :)

Park, mostly. I may go shred the Black and Double Black diamond runs here and there, but I've skied a true center mounted Alpha 1 and it feels fine to me. Just a bit fidgety. Back to the point though, yeah, probably 70/30 or 60/40, park being the higher number.
