I agree, they have the most variety of "park" skis - they have 6 different Park skis that are all very good, and that's not their only focus.

I was seriously confused bu the OP, but I know what he means.  I am not being a dick but that's one of the first times that I couldn't read something the first time and understand it haha.

My vote is for line, because they were born in the park, and they continue to feed the habits of the humble jibber with cheap skis and great design.

My only beef with Line is that the construction is cheap. Not sure if this is true for the newer models.

well it really depends on what kind of park riding youre talking about.

if you love jibs, like noodle skis and you destroy skis like none other than line skis are what you want.

if you like stiff bomb proof skis heads and k2 might be youre thing.

if you like solid skis with good materials and great design armada is probably youre thing.

the list could go on.

I've had bad luck with Line.  The edges blew out in both pairs of Lines within a year of having em which sucks cause every1 swears by them and they have some of the sickest graphics imo.  who knows maybe just a freak coincidence, but now i'm afraid to buy a new pair.

Im really impressed with Armada. started skiing em 2 years ago and after beating the shit out of them, they held up.

armada and line. the new surface nine lives and liberty LTEs look real sick as well as on3p blue steeles, so i guess i could also toss in those brands too if its just one ski

Which is exactly why he asked for the best "All Around" park skis, which in my opinion has got to be Armada due to:

-Innovative designs (JJs and Alpha 1s were pretty unique when they came out and still are)
-BOMB PROOF (Still riding my 04 AR5s with edges intact, they look 2 seasons old :)
-Rider based, no bullshit company (at least in my experience)
-Warranty = Jizz in my pants (reference nomensteven's story about his 4 year warranty on some AR5s)
-Vast array of different skis on their rack, you could stick with just that company and have a ridiculous quiver


I would say Line is also a good all around company, but I personally hate the type of park skis they put out .  They also had the rough years where their skis just fell apart (but hey, so did a lot of companies...like 4FRNT!), but they fixed that well.  In closing, I ride Armada/4FRNT/and now ON3P and my girlfriend rocks Armada and Line.

I find it funny that the thread creator has voted for the best all round park ski  when he's only tried surface and k2
