Replying to Pow skis!

Ok so i think im going to get some pow skis this year!!!! I have done very minimal research on some pow sticks. but i want something that is around 110-118 nothing to big. I was looking at the patrons from nordica or the norwalk from armada as a playful pow ski. I live in Iowa so wont get to use them much this year and when i go out west. So anyone that has these two or any other good options (line, k2, armada, nordica, dynastar).


I want something that will take jumps well and be fun. Its the first time i have ever had a pow ski so i really dont know what to look for.

I will more than likely put griffons on them. Goood bad decision?
