I am looking for new twigs. I have grown out of my Line Honey Badger 2023/2024. I am looking for a ski that is playful and buttery. I have three skis in mind as listed in the title. Firstly, Armada Bdog. This ski seams to be a fit maybe even to flexible. but, I am woried about the all mountain capability. Second Armada Edollo. This ski is seems to be a perfect fit for what I want and I am leaning towards it. But the width is intimidating as I have never had anything that wide before. Lastly, Faction prodigy 1.0. I am intrigued by the all mountain capability. But I am worried they aren’t as flexible as I want (I want something at least a little more flexible than my Honey Badgers). I am 5 foot 7. 125 pounds. I ski a ton in the park in the Midwest Michigan specifically. However I go to Colorado often and mostly ski out of the park there but I am incredibly playful when doing so. Any suggestions, recommendations or want to back up some skis I listed. Please do so, I can’t decide!

For your weight prod going to be fairly burly. Bdog probably your best bet. buddy shreds all mountain on his no problem.

Don’t get the bdogs. Way too heavy for a 94mm park ski.

Way stiffer than the honey badger. Bdog softest one you mentioned but still very capable.

v wets or surface royales, especially at your size and weight, are going to actually be a soft flex like the honey badgers. key/give’r if you want better all mountain performance
