So i have came down to three armad skis

PC, Alpha 1, Alpha 2

I have the ar6 but am looking for a good ski for next season. The edge,sidewall, base, and top sheet have taken a good beating but i love how the ski rides. i know the PC is just a better version of AR6 s but need more maintance which i have no problem with. I heard the rockered park ski is really fun to ride but i dont know what the difference is between Alpha 1 and 2?

Love my AR6's too. ALPHA 2's are dope, they hold up soo well and the rocker is excellent in park but also makes the ski more versatile in pow and other conditions. The race base on the alpha 1 just means they are a bit faster and the bases will require more maintenance and wont hold up as well as the usual armada park ski bases.
