I’m on a pair of 2020 edollos this season that i got this season but i’m 13 and tall and keep getting taller so i wouldn’t be surprised if i need to get new skis again. right now i’m 5’ 10” and have a 172 and i could be 6’+ next season so i’m wondering if i should need to get skis again and what i should get.

East coast: Vermont

$700 maximum based on how many lawns i get to mow

park when there is a park other wise just hitting every side hit and some all mountain


i have pivot 12s that’ll i’ll put on the next pair so i’ll have a bigger budget

my ski ideas:

Line Blend
Armada Stranger
Armada Edollo
ON3P Magnus 102
Vishnu Wide

I couldn’t recommend the K2 poachers or the armada arv 96 enough they’re stiff but they have great pop and stability on rails, but they’re still narrow enough to swap on rails

Fair warning, if you hit jumps of any decent size, you may not want to get wets.

If you would like a pair of skis that are a little different Then everyone else I would recommend a pair of J-skis they’re made by the same person who founded line, but they only have in a limited amount of each designs, and I have heard that people live them for park and around the mountain.


sam zahner had a pro pair if you want to look for someone with a pair of those

If you want a flexy ski on3ps aren’t it. They are poppy and rocketed but they actually don’t flex that easy at all. I’m 180 lbs and they barely move but my arvs would bend a shitton
