2009 Ants v Kingswoods

 Yo,


I am about to add to my ski quiver and have narrowed it down to the 2009 191cm armada ant, or the Kingswood 198cm archetype.


I am sitting on the fence. Will 198 mean I can not get a wheely ski bag? I travel europe alot. But 198 would be super ski for big mountain, and drops. It still has side sut for ripping any where.


The Ants, sick, but they are no Kingswood - well when you origninally come from New Zealand. But being a little shorter, will make them better for spins, and plaing around on.

Any opinions to keep me awake in my current job (bored to tears crunching numbers in an office).

Cheers

you can find 200cm + wheeled ski bags, I know dakine has one.  both are supper sick skis, and I am sure you would be happy with either, but I would say go with the kingswoods, because your right; the ants just arn't a kingswoods. and it is hard to say no to 198cm of pure goodness. the armadas only give you 191cm of stoke.

Not sure if youve considered it but the 193 ehp might be a kinda happy medium between the two skis
