I needa new park ski and I found an offer for both that I really like. I love buttering but not to the point that I want wets. I also quite like rails and jumps as well. I’m 180lbs and 6’2. I need the most durable, best value, best ski. Vishnu Key or Armada ARV 96? I know both are durable, but from NS experience, which is my best bet?

And if I get the Keys, do I go for the lengthy 189? That’ll be as tall as I am

Keys are still a wet noodle ski, ARV 96 will give ya a bit more stability I think

Keys aren't that bad, definitely soft but more stable than they should be for the flex.

Keys are softer than 1000s skis fyi. But just by a little bit.
