Hey I've been looking around at the other threads and all the skis out there and I'm having a hard time choosing a ski for this upcoming year. I live in New York so I'll be skiing east coast conditions, 70% park 30% groomers glades anything i can get myself into. I need a durable ski for a decent price so im looking at last years models

So far I've got my eye on:

08/09 Line Octolands
08/09 Salomon Suspects
07/08 Armada T-halls

Looking for some more suggestions to look into and any reviews of these skis

Also trying to find out how bad the suspects are, they are by far my favorite but i have heard nothing but bad reviews on all of this past years Salomon skis

The only ar6's i can find are 400 bucks, they're a little out of my price range otherwise i would definitely look into them more

this ar6 best ski for u. look for deals. go on armadaskis.com and go on online dealers and look at every one . thats where u find the deals. at least thats where i did. if u want something a bit cheaper and similar go with 09 thalls.

well Armada is a sick company and the new (08) T-halls are sick if you don't mind the kindof weird flex pattern. I'd say those are your best bet.
