Now, I have to choose between this skis:

Armada AR3/Ar5
Line Invader
Rossignol Scratch Pro

Which would you take? Money doesn't depends. Please just say what you would take if you would get one pair for free. I'm riding park and powder. But most park, I think. And I'm light, so it will not be problem for me to ride in powder with thin skis.

Definetly the ar5 I don't think the invader would be that good in powder cuz its so soft, the scratches might be alright but I would defiently go with the ar5s how tall are you?

My explosives are pretty soft, compared to other skis, and they work very well.

Hmm... I like all three! The Line Invader, Rossignol Scratch, and Armada AR3! But I mostly want the AR3 or the Invader. Somebody who have tested them?

i have the invaders, i'm pretty light so i can rip em through some pow, but if you're heavier they're pretty much all mountain/park

I don't think I will choose Line. It's a clean park-ski, and I want to ride some pow. So, it's the Armada or the Scratch! But.. What of them?:D

I say armada. I waght 120 pounds and I destroyed 2 and a ski with the scratch pro in 2 years by warranty returns because they worth shit. they're good skis, I admit, but they are so fragile. so if you don't want to buy a new ski each year, go with the AR3.

invader? go with the prophet 130,it only comes in 186cm but that is a perfect size for you, especially for park.

Somebody who know, is it best to have true center mounted bindings on Armada? Or will they get fucked up then? What do you think is the best way to mount them?

I'd go w/ the Scratches. You're a tiny kid, and they're a pretty light ski, but they'll outlast the invaders.

If money isn't a problem at all, then I guess go w/ the Armadas.

Oh, you do it difficult for me! I THINK i want Armadas. It's circa the same price too, so it's so difficult!:D It will be the AR3 or the Scratch.
