Hey guys,

i've heard some really good stuff about armada skis and im wondering which ones i should get? I plan on skiing primarily park next year, i love jibs but also am going to be throwing down on some medium sized jumps. And on the pow days ill be hitting some pow (nothing to big just a few inches of fresh pow). What skis would you recommend?

Alpha 2, or AR6 both have extruded bases that will take more abuse, and they really hold up amazingly

I had pipe cleaners and loved em - super fast and fun on jumps. Good on rails too. A lot of people will tell you that the PCs get destroyed on rails, but they lasted me 3 seasons and I only had 1 edge crack.

Alpha 2 is dope - it can go anywhere, park, pipe, groomers, and pow. That'd be my pick.

They were pretty good in a few inches of pow as well.

really anything would work out of thall, ar6, pipe cleaner, alpha 1 and alpha 2. just depends what you want of the ski and how much you weigh in my opinion, so i saw a little more info and detail would be more helpful. armadas in general are exceptionally high quality skis that are all really durable. definatly pick one of them up.
