ARV's JACKED!!!

So today I was at Mt. Snow skiing and watching the Dew Tour, went in for lunch around 1, and when I came back out my ARV's were jacked!  They were nice big 185 all black sick Armada ARV's with blue 4frnt bindings... a pretty sick setup, but the skis have been used heavily so have no edges and are basically useless for anything but park... can't figure out why anyone would want to steal them. I wrote my name all over them (like on the side walls and stuff) in blue sharpie: steve pearson. If anyone sees them or knows anything about them please let me know...

On a different note, I guess I am now in the market for a new pair of skis... I want a super buttery pair like the ARV's, and they have to be long since I am 6'2" and weigh like 185.  Any suggestions?  Should I get another pair of ARV's?  I don't know if I like the new graphic as much as the old one.  Since I live on the east, I basically just ski park, but like to shred pow whenever it snows, so I favor wider skis.

oh, that sucks.. why cant people just buy there own gear! hope that you find your skiis!

A suggestion for another pair might be the new "Armada Alpha1"?
ever seen that one? it is a supercool park ski, perfect for butters and rails and stuff.. the "elf shoe technology" makes it supereasy to spin both on nose and tails! + it gets a lot better i powpow than a regular park ski.

I rock a pair of these skis, super stoked to have them, best skii i have ever had! check it out!
for next year there will be an "aplha 1" and an "alpha 2", the same ski but the alpha 2 i going to be more flexible and even better for butters and stuff! and yeah, next years graphics is DOOOPE.. www.jacobwester.com, might be some pics there!

good luck with finding som new babies! hope i could help some atleast!
(sorry if there is any grammar or spelling misstakes... scandinavian says it all!)

Lamesauce.
I thought my shit got stolen at big mountain on the 29th, but someone moved mine and my girlfriends skis just to random places around the ski racks. I was freaking out and stomping around and shit. It was funny in the end, but I for sure do not want to get my skis stolen.

That's fucked.

Why can't people just leave people's shit alone? Think about the time/money that someone put into their skis/personal belongings.

That's so messed up. Happened to my buddy way back in the day with his ORIGINAL 1080s. Totally lame.

So I found a brand new pair of 183 cm '06 4frnt STL's on ebay for $180.  I am looking for a buttery ski and I found some other threads that say the STL's are buttery... Anyone know anything about these skis?  I've never tried them.

for new skis you might want to look at line Anthems-from what i know they are really buttery and a nice width for an all-mountain/park ski. 178 might be a little short for what you want though.

I go to Mammoth a lot and so much s#!t gets jacked from there.  Luckily, local PD set up a sting operation and caught the thieves.

They even have their mugshots.  hahah..

On Moment's website it says that the Bibby's are "medium / stiff flex"... they look sick though, had anyone riden them?  How about '06 STLs for $180?  I am not exactly loaded, so I need to find a deal...

Ya I ride them most of the time. The flex isnt that soft cuz its a rockered ski which makes it automatically feel softer than it is. Its a super fun ski and can handle speed, but at the same time you can butter and revert easy cuz of the rocker. super fun

Just bought a new pair of '08 183 cm surface watch life's...
I still hope to someday recover my ARV's, but I know my chances are slim, which really sucks. They are mounted with blue 4frnt deadbolt 412 bindings, and the skis are mostly black (I believe they are the '06 model). I lost them this past Friday at mt. snow around 130 while eating lunch watching the dew tour. Its really sucks that people suck.

I really don't understand the mentality of thieves. i was at the dew tour thursday/friday and there were literally 100s of pairs of skies just laying on the ground. And these were good skis, i'm talking about the 2010 suspects and JO pros just on the ground while numerous 09's in prestine condition laid next to them. Then the thief takes a pair of skis that no offense to the thread creator are in not the best condition and are all tagged up. Why? If someone was going to steal a pair of skis, why wouldn't they take a better pair?
