Im 6'ft 205 pounds, I ski aggressive all mountain. 80% / 20% Groomers/Park. Looking for a Ski 90-105 underfoot, Preferably really stiff. Just a fuck around ski that'll hold up on 20-30 foot jumps. Most importantly, the price NEEDS to be around 300-500 CAN.

I have the Armada El Rey from 2 years ago and Its a really well balanced ski. It is super stable for jumps and its wide enough for knee deep pow. They're pretty wide as far as a park ski goes, so they're alright on rails and boxes but not the best. I'd say that it'd be your best bet to check out this years model if you want a good balance between all mountain and park.

line anthems would be good if you can find a pair, but theyre definiteyl not super stiff but they are 93 underfoot and are a way fun ski, can definitely handle jumps

Why would you want a ski that is 90 -105 underfoot if you only ski groomed and park?

Skiing anything under 90 for me feels fucking wacked. First time I rode skis over 95, It felt so good.

If u want wider, I wouldn't go more than 95isho, look at the atomic patent, I liked it alot when I rode it, and I know that is what benchetler rides in the park. Pretty decent all mtn ski, buttery, yet poppy and 95 underfoot, so u get that feel of a fatter ski u r looking for. Also, give the arv a look, more directional, full camber, so u get a bit stronger edge on the groomed, and also 95 underfoot

so you are on a budget... it will be tough to get a new ski to fit your budget tht won't feel like noodle after a season for a 200 plus pound guy.....trust me.

Save up you have time... spend a little more and get some ON3p Jeronimos. They are built to last. They will still feel poppy after a hard season. The extra bucks will go a long way in terms of durability and feel.
