how do they ski the 176s are they perfect for rails and jibs? and hows the swing weight on them? i just dont know if the 182 will feel to big and i have the 174 k2 domains right now and there over my forhead kinda so the 176 halos sound perfect

They are great for rails and jibs, and the swing weight is insanely low, I've taken them off some 40 footers as well and they take it like champs, if you wanted to bump up a size you probably wouldn't be disappointed because they ski short, but personally I prefer a slightly shorter ski

If it were me I'd probably go with the 182 cause of the rocker. Unless you like a shorter ski like the guy up there^

i talked to the guys from armada and they said that kids from  the east cost they don't have them go up in size because the type of skiing that is there! if i was in the west cost they said that they would deffinetly have me on the 182s but they said the 176s will be perfect for me and even if I grow they will still be perfect size because i am on 174 domains right now and there above my forehead and the armada are a little bigger so they will last me a good 2 years and i don't like a longer ski so the 176 will be the perfect choice for me!!! but thanks for all your help guys 10/10
