Hey everyone, what skis would you get for next year? And what skis would you recommend for a skier that wants a decent shovel on the ski so they can shred some wider turns through East Coast crud, but at the same time hit/absorb jumps and have a semi-lightweight butter zone for rails. Pretty much the can do everything and take a beating ski. Would you recommend the Volkl Walls or the Armada AR6?

AR6's are a super solid ski and I love mine but the THALLS have butter zones in the front unlike the AR6

Da'Nollies have a huge ass shovel either end, and are symmetrical, if you're looking for a Wall substitute. Also UMHW (sp?) sidewalls.
