Hey Guys:) My names Merlin, im 15 years old, and i am a good skier on the regular groom! I never been in a park, sometimes in powder, but i would like to start freestyle skiing, and i need a ski thats excellent in Park,groom, and can handle just a little bit powder ;) Im 110pounds and 1meter 70centimeters high! I ride the skis in Switzerland,.10minutes from my home away:) I check out some ski on different website and i use google a kot, these i like very much: Armada Ar 7 - it should be a great park ski,.but i dont know how he can handle a bit of powder? A stiff ski Rossignoll Scratch I dont know much about him- just he is stiff K2 Revival Should be a great Allmountainski! K2.Domain Should be a great park ski-but its soft, how can it handle.powder, and is.a.soft ski good? Other Suggestions? Völk Wall perhaps? And, can i buy a pre year model, theyre most a bit cheaper! Regreets from Switzerland;)! Merlin

Ah, i forgot: 60% park,.20% groom 20% little pow! The budget is open, because here are the prices not the same as in USA! I hope i done everything right,.amd sorry for my bad english! Enjoy the night, greetings!

soft skis are generally quicker turning and more forgiving to use. they are very fun for rails, but if big jumps are something u want to get into, having a stiff ski is important for stability at speed.
for starters, i would check out the line blend. its very soft and user friendly in the park, but is a little wider and has rocker, so it will ski in pow better than the average park ski.

3 meter jumps are not really big jumps, more the 7 meter range comes close. ill suggest taking a soft ski.

but on the other hand, my amplid c7's are pretty damn stiff and so much fun to actually go as hard as you can!

icelantic danollies, the graphics are fuckin gangbusters and it's a pretty wide ski so if my mountain happens to get a pow day (almost never) i can still have some fun with it. I've tried a lot of different park skis over the years and switch from a lot of different brands, these are by far my favorites.

how stiff are the dogmas? Aren't they a relatively good mix of everything?

line chronics are a great all mountain park ski! and the new model has early rise so it skis fine in the powder! http://lineskis.com/skis/chronic-1213

Hello ;)

Okay, here are some models which i like...

Armada Ar7
- Should be a great park ski, really lightweight, but how is it in some little powder?

Line Chronic
-i dont know much about him, tell me more pls ;)

K2 Domain

-Great Jib ski, but is it too soft and how is it in some powder?



Rossignol Scratch
- i dont know much about him


Okay, i ride usually Park, i think about 50%, 30% on the groom, and 20% in powder...


Which is the best one for me? Can you help me? Or do you need more infos from me?


Merlin

ar7 is like a full on park ski, armada el rey or salomon threat would work well for all mountain and powder skiing because they are fairly wide at 85mm for both of them
