I wanna get the best one ski quiver possible for this year. $ is no issue i just wanna get the best pair possible. A ski that i can ride in the park and jib with but at the same time be able to take out in the deep pow-wow. I like the Shoguns but the reviews say they arent worth a damn in the park. Ive kinda narrowed it down to The Volkl Bridge, The Line Blend, and the Line Chronic Crypotonite. i was almost sure i would buy this years Bridges after the sick reviews theyve gotten the last few years but there wasnt much to be said about em in any of the reviews ive seen so far. Certainlty not the raves of the pats few. But idk what to get. help me pick! any other suggestions are welcome too! Thanks!!!

ive rode the blends.
i find them rather heavy and unresponsive.
they might be good for some east coast big mtn for chargin and shit but i thought they were not nearly platfull enough for the park

Armada Fleet El Reys. My brother is getting them and they seem like a great all mountain ski.

looking through what skis you have looked into and are thinking about, it looks like you want a stiffer ski.

so the kung fujas are probably a little soft for you
as would the rossi s3

but if money isnt an issue, i would definitely look into the 2010 kung fujas and 2010 rossignol s3. what kind of skiing do you do, and how much park/allmountain?

Armada ARV

"Description

When the ARV was born seven years ago, skiers demanding park-style performance all over the mountain were cutting edge innovators. Today, it's not just the Armada team members who require pop off terrain features and stability at speeds wrapped in a wide enough package for flotation in any snow condition—it's every high caliber, all-mountain skier. Like the AR6, this is an Armada legacy product and it remains virtually unchanged from last year because we haven't found a way to improve upon it. The ARV remains the benchmark in traditional all-mountain versatility."
