Does anyone have Armada El Rey's or skied on them before? Are they good for all around the mountain and decent in the park? Are they worth getting? or should I go with something else?

if i were you, id just go for the ar6's. they are super nice and soft but the flat sidewall kinda sucks cuz they sometimes chip and delam on the sides and then you get fiberglass splinters in your hand and they reall hurt. but in the park, i think they are some of the best skis on the market. i love armada.

o and about el reys, they're good cheap all mountains skis that will be fine for you, but it would be better to make a few extra bucks this summer and get AR6s. they're gonna be a lot more stable and poppy and have better edge grip.
