I am looking to upgrade my ski this season (been a while since I have done so) and am looking for suggestions. Can get into any of the 3 listed for a decent price, just not sure what would be best for me (or if something else all together would be better).
2016 HO Syndicate V-Type R
2017 HO Syndicate VTX
2019 HO Syndicate Pro
Background: Current ski is a HO CDX-1, before that HO VTX
Ski style: 100% slalom course (roughly 28" off and 32mph)
Size: Female, 5'5" and 125lbs
Also, have always skied with Animal front binding and RTP. Considering the Syndicate hardshell with RTP, but would be open to info and suggestions on that as well. Like the animal bindings, but almost always get a foot cramp even trying to get the darn thing on. Like the idea of easier on and off with repeatable binding closure force with the hardshell.

As far as binding slime, had used Moose Juice for years (dad an I went to the camp in the mid 90's and swore by the stuff). The last few years have used Babe's boot butter and it works, but still a tight fit to get into my current animal binding. Just not sure between the new animal and trying out the hard-shell option. Thanks again to all who offered advice!
Tried the ‘17 vtx could not get it to work for me.. have not tried the HO pro..
my next Ski to try is the ‘21 HO omega max But I am over 200lbs..
Have worn the animal binding w/laces forever , now with the radar HRT back binding..
