Hi! I'm looking for a new pair of skis for next season and there's some good prices at my local store right now. I'm 15, 176cm (5'09) and weigh about 60kg (132lb). I'm pretty advanced skier, I'd say type 3. I ski about 90% park and 10% all mountain. In the park I do 50/50 jumps and rails and sometimes jib around. I'm not a crazy good park skier though. I can do a 360 and 270 off a rail but I'm not gonna send anything huge.I have the prodigy 1.0 atm and I like them very much but I'd like a bit wider ski. I live in Finland so the weather is usually very nice and conditions are usually good, but there's also slush sometimes. The skis are about same price so that doesn't really matter. I looked at the Line Blends as well but I think they might be a bit too soft. Any experience about them is also welcome. I was also thinking about getting the look pivot 15 bindings, but if there's a "better" option for me I'd like to hear about it as well. I hope that's enough info and if I missed something I'll answer when asked. Thanks for all the help in advance.

Bdogs are a bit of a middle ground between blends and prodigy’s, in terms of flex

P15 seems good unless your on a budget. Attacks could be smart for that

Havent skied either but bdogs seem to be more pure park skis and prodigys are more like park/all-mtn skis so id get bdogs for 90/10 especially w/ the prodigy 1.0s u could use for more all mtn stuff

Get B Dogs. Too many Prodigy’s in Finland. Feels like every other kid has them.

Alright, though I rarely even see Factions in Finland but I guess the bdogs are better for park skiing mostly

Man I see Factions, especially Prodigy’s, everywhere in Finland. Granted, I’ve only skied central and up north. Maybe it’s different down south

Jos lasket yleensä pienessä keskuksessa ja haluut löysemmät sukset nii hommaa b dogit. Prodigyt on sit paremmat rinteen ulkopuolella ja kovemmis vauhdeis ja isommissa bokseissa. Jos et vedä mitään super isoo nii b dogit on hyvä valinta.

After doing some more research I'm gonna add the armada edollos as an option here. Would like to know how they match up to the bdogs and if they would be a better option than the others

Ne on vähän jäykemmät ja vakaammat ku b dogit. Prodigyihin verrattuna vähän löysemmät mutta ei yhtä hyvät rinteen ulkopuolella. Ite oon laskenu niillä ihan kaikkee parkista puuteriin ja hyvin ne kaikesta on aina selvinnyt.

En kyl osaa suoraan sanoo oon tykännyt molemmista suksista tosi paljon. Edollot on lähempänä prodigyja flexin puolesta niin niihin ois ainaki helpompi tottua. B dogit on varsinki taileista paljon löysemmät, mutta ainaki tailbutterit ois helpompia. B dogit on kans reileis vähän paremmat koska ne on vähän kapeemmat ja kevyemmät. Puuterissa ne on aika lailla yhtä hyvät.

Asia kunnossa. Pidän kyl molempii harkitsemisen arvosina, täytyy vaa käydä kattoo kaupas molempii ja siellä sitte miettii pitemmälle. Katon kyl vähän hintaaki mut eiköhän toiset noista lähe matkaa.
