Back story: I recently got myself a pair of armada JJs as a gift; and my girlfriend is always commenting on how much fun it looks like I'm having.

As a late Xmas gift I wanna get her a really fun, super flexible pair of all mountain/thin powder skis. I was looking at Armada arvw or armada cantikas. Does anyone have any tips on awesome super flexy skis I can get her?

She's 5'6" ish an intermediate skier. Just learning park and all around awesome all mountain skier.

+K for serious help.

K2 Hellbents.

You might think I'm joking but I'm not. I love my hellbents and there are two other ladies at my mountain that rock them as well.

That was the first pastor I was looking at; they're not as flexible as the JJ and sound less reactive to turns.

Not if she likes to charge. I have hellbents and they're pretty damn floppy and hard to manage going high speeds through chop and mogul runs etc. Plus if unless she's used to heavy skis, it might be a lot to lug around, but she'll eventually get used to that. Hellbents are fun and all, but definitely not a versatile ski.
I would look at a Armada TSTw. Not super wide, good balance of camber/rocker, nice and lightweight and not extremely stiff so they're still playful. A kid on my team rocks the male version in all conditions and he loves them.

Nvm, re-read that you want a super flexible all mountain ski.
My recommendation is a Shreditor 112. Suuppperr sick ski, I'm gonna pick myself up a pair.
