My arv's are just too soft for pipe. I need something stiffer that is also good on jumps and durable enough for rails.

volkl walls, troublemakers, chronics, AR6s. some good stiff pipe skis off the top of my head.
if your're doing a lot of comps, it might even be worth keeping a nicely waxed pair of pipe cleaners and using your ARVs for rails. but any of those skis I listed would be good.

definately agree with the last guy. - Especially the walls - pretty stiff and fully symmetrical - freeskiers top park and pipe pick for 2009.

If you want to stick with Armada pick up a pair of Pipecleaners, I have the ones from two seasons ago (the red/tan ones) and I love them to death. They are such a responsive ski in the pipe and on park jumps, they're fast as hell and they handle awesome. As for rails it may not be the best for the bases on them but if you keep them tuned and taken care of they are fine. I hit rails every day in the park and there is just normal wear and tear on them, the bases still look pristine. Troublemakers are also a good pipe/park ski, have some of those too but I like like the Pipecleaners way more. Good luck on finding a ski man +vibes

Pipecleaners and TNKs both have race bases and are stiff for park/pipe.
