I was really looking for a way sick pair of powder/big mountain skis...i dont want anything insanely wide but a really stable strong ski thats way sick for the powder and big mountain lines. I really like the armada ARGs so far, but i dont know anyone whos had them so i'll take any input on them. thanks

If you want Armadas, I'd look into the new JJs rather than the ARGs. Everybody who has skied them is raving about them,

well you should try. I tried them the spring before they came out and I was so stoked but since my parents were helping me pay for my powder skis and I got a way better deal on some nordicas which were equally as bomb just smaller, I couldn't buy them... :(

but boone makes a sick powder/park ski which works equally well...its a bit small underfoot but if you get the 180cm size they'll work for sure...93mm underfoot. It's sort of like an ARV but way sicker in terms of pretty much everything IMO.

Liberty Helix (105 underfoot) or the Double Helix (122 underfoot) - nice light ski that floats beautifully in powder and quite nice on the groomers too.

if you want to reconsider a fat powder ski ive heard k2 pontoons are the way to go. But if you are set on a skinnier all mnt /powder ski its sir francis bacon or nothing

Praxis could be cool.. look like sick boards.  I'm def getting the huge trouble.  185, fat as hell.  no camber, so not rockerd but real floaty.  plus its a dynastar so its gonna rip.
