Favorite Ski's and Why?

Hey guys, semi new to NS, been skiing for a while.

Anyways, was wondering what y'all favorite ski's are and why. I've only owned one pair as an adult, Rossignol B2's (176cm) and I'm looking to get a pair of twins for next season.

So obviously my favorite ski that I've owned has been the Rossi B2's, they can handle just about anything on-piste that I can throw at them, only problem is its pretty hard to land switch or even ollie with a stiff tail. I also got a chance to demo my friends Urban Triplets (Atomic), and those were sick, much better at riding switch and landing jumps, also seemed to have a little less chatter at high speeds.

How bout you?

I love my Ar6's. Armada puts out quality stuff. The Ar6 is all around just a dominate ski, plus its pretty cheap compared to others.
Im going to try out Atomic Punx next season though.

I love my Volkl Walls! They're of good wight, extremely durable, the flex pattern opens possibilities for everything, and the with makes them good for rails and really stable at jumps at the same time. For pow, Armada ARG's is the only ski I've tried, but its like skiing on a cloud! A complete different feeling with reverse chamber and full rockered. I defiantly recommend getting two pairs if you ski alot of powder, but also park ;) Luckily the walls are wide enough to ski most powder.

My Boone magic sticks just broke but they warrentied them with no problem. O would reccoment to get the 93mm waist if your more of an all mountain ripper. They are really stiff so if your heavier guy hey are nice. Also the armada t halls or ar6. They are really legit. Good warrenty too if they ever break.
