Height/weight, where do you ski, what is your ability level, what are you looking to get out of a ski?

sick skis I've abused a couple pairs and they're pretty durable for a park ski, the rocker gives it some pretty good float in the deep.camber still for ripping jumps kinda does it all. soft nose if you wanna butter.stiffer tail and underfoot for the yumps.
id recommend getting em a little big w the rocker on em.

5’5” 110, New Hampshire, experto, I want a light and playful ski. I’m mainly going to hit rails and play around on trails

What the other guy said, you'd prob be better off with an ARV imo but either one would work for what youre describing.

Edollo's have always been a playful ski, you can always try to track down last years model and try to save some dough.

Go with Bdogs they’re lighter and a little thinner and have thicker edges thus being more durable.

I'd suggest the arw96, extremely similar ski that's tailored a little more to a girl

correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe the edollo is the same ski as the Al Dente. Only difference i've been told is the name and topsheet. I Have not ridden the Al Dente but they've been pretty popular

i got them at the beginning of the season and within a week of skiing they were already seperating underfoot. Now the tip on one of them is delammed and the delamination under foot goes for like a foot long with the core completely exposed.
