My new skis snapped (armada el reys) so i'm looking for a new ski. I've narrowed it down to the line anthem 08/09, amplid township 08/09 and Armada Pipe Cleaner 07/08. I really need help with this so i thought i'd ask NS. One more point, i need them to be very durable as the el reys only lasted three sessions.

Thanks

Anthems...or look into the afterbangs. Both skis will take a beating, I can imagine what dry slope does to a ski
