 So i was wondering what company you guys you have alll rode the most and what your overall most favoritest company isn.

For me personally it has to be line just because of the buttery playfulness of my afterbangs which have been going hard for almost 2 years now. I love these skis so much that when I get the new afterbangs in 3-4 years ima hang these bad boys on my wall.

Love my JJs so I might go with Armada. But I've always had a great time on any K2s that I've had over the years too.

sounds trendy on NS, but ON3P have the most solid construction out there, and I love their shapes.

K2 and surface. Some of the best parks skis i've ever owned were K2's. Surface has exceptionally awesome customer service and sweet skis to top it off.

Dude no doubt on3p are sick as skis but my Blue Steeles lasted about 75 days and now edges on both ends of boths skis are popping out really sad and dissapointed about that. They are the most fun and playful skis i have ever ridden though. And even with the edges falling out they still stomp hard but just not the most durable of skis in my case

Armada. I've ridden 4 different models from them so far and I have loved every single one. Also, they continue to innovate and push the limits of ski design and it seems that every time they come out with something new it is a huge success.

I've loved my AR6's this year, but have absolutely destroyed them...

The edge on one of my skis cracked up so much that a whole section of edge and base is pulling away from the ski.

Lots of topsheet damage has gone to the wood core dampening the ski.

I've almost completely de-cambered the ski, and I now have early rise in my tips and tails.

They were a lot of fun while they held up, but they've fallen apart significantly faster that I would have expected especially considering I've only been riding them since early December (Ohio's season sucks).  I feel like everyone always comments on their durability and how awesome it is, but I've had a bit of an issue... Anyone else have any problems with Armada?

I like Line as well because I like that they support people like Traveling Circus and they support younger start ups. I like my Solomon ski's and my Oakley get up.

I would say Fortitude Skis because the Lincolns were my favorite ski I ever rode.  But there customer service is not very good :(  So I'm going to say Bluehouse.  I love my antics and they are so good with customer service.  Bluehouse <3

Most likely. And 4FRNT's all the way, I have yet to have a problem with them in 4 years. And they are awesome skis too.

Line, simply because it's all ive ever ridden, and they have super laid back athletes like will wesson and andy perry. with that said, i think im gonna start branching out on the skis i ride.
