need a new ski for instructing/groomers this season and i was looking at the 12/13 eldo's. the only thing that was bugging me was that it wasnt twin tip.. because i want to put it through the park a bit (not often)

is there an equivalent ski by other companies within the same sorta price range with a twin tip?


6"2, 165 pounds, whistler etc etc


not too worried about a bigger ski as this will predominately be for groomers/instructing/bit of park and ill be getting a separate ski for big mountain/pow etc


cheers for the help

I would towards the Armada El Rey. Similar size underfoot to the Eldo's, very light, can hold it down all over the mountain and in the park. They're fairly cheap too.

This years El Reys look sick. I like the red on them.

Twin tips will help a lot if you are going to be doing a lot in the park but if you are going in and out but mostly in the groomers, id say that twin tips are not necessity but a good thing to have.

It also kind of depends on how good you are at park. Are you interested in going switch?


They have a 3/4ths twin and they are a good ski (best of both worlds)

hope this helps
