Haven't rode either, but judging by what I've seen from batalla and APO:
Batalla:
Makes cool extremely durable park skis.
APO:
I know nothing about APO except I picked up the forward at my shop one time. It is very light and probably the most buttery ski I've ever felt.

I like both but Batalla is making a huge name for itself right now and it is definitely up-and-coming, and their park reaper is an excellent ski. I have not ridden the Forward but I rode Sammy C Pros 1 and 2 and the Rise Up FS and they were incerdibly durable and super fun but lost their pop quick. Other than that they were the best skis I ever rode. Real fun.

Know nothing about apo. Batallas are stiff tho, but the rocker makes em play around

Reapers are so much fun. Favorite ski I've ever ridden, I rode them in pow this weekend at Highlands and Copper and they killed it. They are stiffer so they are super stable at speed but the rocker lets them butter and float. Center mount makes them turn on a dime in tight spots too.
All times are Eastern (-5)
