K so I got some AR5s, and Im lookin for another ski. I ski bumps, trees (powder) and park. Since I got the AR5s and they kick ass in the park, I was wondering if I should go to the BC scratches, or stick with more of an all mountain and get some FS scratches. Although, my AR5s do decently in the powder. Also, is the new THC core really worth the extra $$$, or should I go with the sprayer?
you shoudl wait until reviews for next years stuff comes out. scratch BC are a great choice, but the new chronic blends are quite wide and iknow it makes me want to wait and see what all the hypes about. what you ski doesnt really require a huge powder ski, so a fat all mountain twin would do it. the seth pistols or vicious would be good for anyone. there are so many choices. volkl makes great skis, but just not cool enough for me. the ARV's are great for you.
i know volkl is consitently making the best skis out there in the context of technology and durability, not to mention they preform like the rolex of skis.
but id take a first year ARV over any of them. black, white, pink. does that make me an ass? maybe, but at least i admit it. im superficial. i hardly get out skiing. i just moved to central indiana, the temperature is good for shorts, and the only kids in my school who know about freesking heard about it from me. (well there are like a few that kinda know). why would i go for a black and pink arv? well same reason i have a crocheted hat in the colors of the jamacian flag, i care about my image way to much. i feel most comfortable skiing when i feel that i look good. why do you buy nice shoes, wear nice clothes? positive self image. im not saying it makes me a good skiier at all. im saying it makes skiing more fun for me. if you dont agree, thats totally cool. its all about freedom and having fun. so whatever works. trash talk is lame, but if people on this site do it and walk away feeling like a million bucks, why should i let anything get to me, im still fine.
i wasnt really typing all that in reference to your post Deprarriear5. but moreso because i just wanted to get say it.
