I'm choosing between these two skis this year, hoping I could get some feedback / suggestions from some fellow NS'ers.

Thanks!

Ar7 cap/sidewall is sick and its a great ski punisher is cool to but it a little too expensive for what it is

okay heres the info
the scott punisher jib (p3) is a okay ski. this ski is similar to the salomon suspects in regards to them being a competition ski. They are primarily a jump ski since it is stiff, and the durability on rails is not good at all.

The armada ar7 would be the best choice. armada is known for making bombproof products, and the ar7 is one of their top skis. The ar7 has the ar50 sidewall construction (blend of cap and abs sidewall construction). The cap construction makes the ski lighter and making the swing weight lower, and the abs offers durability underfoot and forgiveness to handle rail abuse and the impact when landing. The ar7 has a stiff flex and can offer stability on large jumps, but the flex provides the ability to do butter, presses, etc.. The ar7 is wider underfoot than the punisher jibs and the past armada ar6 models, which is good for all mountain  and more surface area on jumps and rails. The ar7 has armadas standard base material but is still quite fast. The ar7 is a serious ski and you will definitely get your money's worth out of them

I mean no offense but.. Scott's skis have some serious durability issues...

I pm'ed this guy earlier in the year because i thought i was going to buy his p3's and he messaged me pictures of his completely cracked, smashed edges after having the skis for 2 weeks..

AR7's for sure haha.

Yeah man AR7's all the way. I just got myself a pair. I have ridden armadas a few seasons and never had any problems like I had had previously. They will last for sure.
