Hello everyone, I am from Australia hence why I’m loving for new skis in May...
I ski mostly park or in the air at least. When I’m not in the park I’m boosting side hits and tryna look like Magnus buttering. I am 6’2 200lb looking for a 1 ski quiver. Opinions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

ive been looking at
J skis ‘The Metal’
armada ARV 106/96
ON3P Jeffery 96,106
vishnu wide plus

What comes to armada arv 96 vs 106, if you like rails and more chill skiing, 50-50s and surface swaps and stuff, go with 106, if you are more into more "traditional" park skiing ie wanna spin more, jump, do bigger tricks and have faster feet, go with 96

Only issue is they might be too soft for out of park use

The Magnus is pretty stiff. I have the mag 102 and the Jeffery 96 and I would say the Jeffery is slightly stiffer. But the mags are more rockered.

You sure you want a ski that wide for skiing in Aus? Unless we get an insane storm (and you said you mainly ski park) I think there'd be more benefits in not going as wide as 107.

I'd say Kartel 96, Armada Arv 96, Volkl Revolt 95, Rossi Blackops 98, Moment PB&J, Dynastar Menace would be my number 1.
