Post Whore

where do you ride? what do you like to ride?

there both good park skis but the AR6 is a bit better suited for all mountain riding.

You shoul check out the new El Ray from armada out of the new fleet series. It is a cap ski (woodcore+fiberglass),the cost is lower and it's also the turnier ski of the entire line. I tried this ski and it's awesome, I'd say the stiffness is between the Thall and the Ar6 which is perfect if you're not so heavy...

Take a look at that ski, it looks like it dedicated to you!!!

dude if you live in NH i feel your pain. Maine gets it just as bad.

and how much do you weigh, and height and shit

because i'm suggesting if your a bigger guy, and want a ski that destroys MSP all the way

i think i saw MSP supermodels for like 300 dollars somewhere too. look around

but if your small just get a salomon.

The Ar6 is the ultimate "PARK" ski of armada line, it depends of what you really want, are you going to be more involved with the park in the next 2-3 years or you're more likely on the slope turning your skis with a sneek in the park once in a while. I'm pretty postitive the Ray will be as lasting as the Ar6. ArV is also a good all-around ski that does good in the park. Wider skis are fun!!!
