So yeah i'm looking to buy a new pair of skis for the upcoming season so im looking for suggestions and advice.
I want the ski to have soft flex cus i like to butter and jib alot, i been thinking bout purchasing armada b-dogs but as i'm rlly short (5'5) i'm kinda scared to do the transition from my current 155cm ninthward e-dollos to 172 cm b-dogs cus i don't want the ski to weight alot since i wanna play around.

Welcome to Newschoolers, and Personally I wouldnt go for the edollos unless your still growing. They will feel long as fuck the first season.

btw I would have bought the shit out of your ninthward HH if you were selling them last year.

Theres a bunch of different brands that now carry a butter style ski. Armada is somewhat the premier goto ski and yes they make great stuff. If your looking for something outside the box check out smaller companies like revision, vishnu ec. If budget isn't an issue I just picked up a pair of faction candide 1s and they are solid. Stiff but but buttery in the tip. Some some suggestions ya know.

My brother was in the same situation as you. He ended up getting the Revision Tailsman. He got a lot of recommendations saying they were super flexy and buttery, and they come in 156cm.
