 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.

Armada or Moment hands down. Never heard a bad word said about them except from gapers who don't know how to use their skis, etc.

You massive Trendwhore. haha.


Ninthward due to having such a solid durability. Had mine 3 seasons now and they still have camber left no edge cracks and the base material is heavy duty.

Bluehouse is my favorite as a company. Don't make the best ski's but they have always been extremely accomodating when the ski's busted. Way cool guys and I love the company. Plus for the price I don't think they can be beat.

Ninthward used to have some of the worst durability ever, similar to older suspect models...

I had a pair of afterbangs that snapped, fun skis but I don't like not being able to use my skis after one season. I have a pair of k2s that have been going strong for 4 years now and my k2-PBR brewskis that are my prized possession. Then I really like atomics because they are light and the punx are basically skinnier lighter afterbangs.
I think I like k2 the best though.

Curious, did you buy these used?

I have had a Ar6 and they took a beating. Great ski, too bad they stopped making them... but the Ar7 seems like a great replacement.

My vote goes to the small American manufacturers: Icelandic, Liberty, Moment, On3p...great products, competitive prices and employs local skiers....can't go wrong.

I bought them off of NS, but they were still in the plastic. I'm thinking that they were just a defective pair or something though.

I beat my skis to shit though, so I didn't really expect them to last too long.
