HenrikSNWhats the diffrence


Prodigy 1s are a dedicated park ski, under foot width is 88mm. Prodigy 2s are an all mountain ski but can also ride park. I rode prodigy 2s this season. 98mm underfoot defiantly a good ski just not quite as snappy and responsive as the prodigy 1s but prodigy 1s couldn’t handle mid/deep powder. Haven’t rode prodigy 3d though.

prodigy 3 is a great suggestion, k2 reckoner 112 could be what you want, armada jj UL could also do it and the Candied BC 111 might be it

thank u for the suggestion and the help, but buying skis from USA is going to be to expensive for me, 550 for skis + around 150 for bindings, 150 in shipping + a 25 % fee of the total price idk what its called in english so around 1000$

Yea definitely don’t get ON3P. They’re overpriced even with free shipping in the USA, let alone living in Europe. You can get a cheaper and better ski from any European based company. The ARV 100/106 is good too, or check out the line bacon 108
