Hello, i'm an 177cm,62kg intermediate skier. Here in Greece there are not lot parks. There is a lot of powder. I'm thinking of buying armada al dente but someone told me it is better to buy Armada TST. I want to go on some rails and kickers but mostly i will be out powder. What is the best choice for me(or if you have to suggest me other skis)? I'll be happy if you explain me the options.
PS: I'm new on the forum, sorry for my bad English.

Neither is ideal for what you want maybe the jj would work better if you want to stick with armada. More jib oriented skis that handle pow are like the line sfb or sherditors or maybe even 106 kartels.

So you think TST aren't suitable for powder? I liked the Line sfb (looks good). I think 106 kartels will be hard at the park.( if i try to go there on rails)

check out the 4frnt yle. Great pow ski that rides like a mid to slightly soft park ski built for pow. You can still hit park with its just that you will be doing more skate style tricks in the park with them cause they are bigger than your average park ski.

Hmm nice skis! Will be on my 1st option thank you! But what's the difference between TST and Line SFB?

The difference being the TST is not a jib or playful ski. It's more meant for a directional ski for pow or changing conditions. It seems like you want a more jib oriented pow ski that you can smear around, and also ride switch with sometimes. The TST doesn't have rocker in the tail so it will be a bit more stable for beelining it. So I think people have already given you good suggestions such as the JJ 2.0, or YLE, anything really that's a mid-fat ski and is twin tipped.
