CRAZY POP

I'm currently in the market for some new skis so if any of you guys could help me out that would be great. I'm looking for a mid fat-fat ski anywhere from 175-185 with a decent amount of flex and TONS of pop. Pretty much I want this to be an everything ski (pow, park, crud, you name it) Right now I'm skiing the first public enemys (the white ones) They have some life to them but after skiing the tms they just feel dead now. Some of the skis that I'm looking at right now are the arvs, msps, big troubles, or first bloods. Any advice would be great.

for everything skis look into ARV's, Seths, Chronic wide/ Pollard pros. All good in the park but good out too.

if you want a ski with pop, dont get armadas, they feel totally dead.

my suggestions:
4frnt stls, more park specific, but def. able to handle it all.

any of the dynastar skis (awesome, but they loose pop fast)

volkls karmas

last years pollards or chron. wides

Yes you will...they are called ARV's. God I am so biased I know and I apologize but it is only because in the 15 years I have been skiing I have never had a ski that is more well rounded or more fun than the ARV.

try out last years pollard pro models. i can't guarantee that you will be the trendiest kid on the hill, but they are a super solid that seem to be along the lines of what you are looking for.

Karmas are definitely the way to go If you're going to go all over the mountain. As far as how they feel, they're basically stiff TMs.
