Coming off of two seasons and two pairs of EDollos, the second pair is finally beginning to snap in half underfoot. Was considering switching it up and getting a different brand. I've pretty much always been on Armadas. Was considering LINE TW pro, but am not sure. Any advice? Are TW Pros even durable? looking for a thinner ski than the EDollo, same size works too. Not looking to go wider.

If looking at armadas maybe the arv series. I would look at factions prodigy series or something like a volkl revolt 95. You seem to be a skier that goes big and wants a somewhat stiffer ski. Maybe saying the way you ride would help.

My buddy has a pair of the revolts, they’re a great ski, pretty stiff though if your trying to butter n shit. I’ve heard the TWs are sick too

My revolts are pretty good for jumps and rails but its harder to be creative on them like my kartels. They also have some pretty crappy top sheet durability and ive had to use a bit of jb weld on them. They havent snapped yet, though and I like skiing switch on them more than any other ski

Line honey badger. Skied them all last year. Light and playful but still can hold up well on landings. Super fun ski!

Depends one what kind of skiing you like to do. The edollos are a well rounded park skis (maybe a lil on the soft side)

If you want a softer ski for jibbing and butters you could go with Vishnu wets, On3p magnus 90, Line blends, J Skis allplays, and the new Armada Bdogs for 2020.

How if you like to go big and prefer the extra stability you could get K2 poachers, Arv 96, Line chronics, Faction prodigy 2.0

If i were you i'd do a little research and find a ski that best suits your style. Im currently on edollos and really enjoy them.

Prodigy’s are super solid, the Revolt is trash. If you want a stiffer ski definitely go with a Prodigy 1.0 or 2.0, they’re awesome all over the mountain and real durable. The Revolts retail at $399 because they’re made in China and they don’t last, it’s a waste of your money if you’re in the park more than 20% of the time
