are these a good ski? and how are they compared to the k2 recoil? would it be worth the extra 150 bucks for recoils?

havent heard much about the k2s. although my experience with the abangs was not that great. they get mega beat super fast. and once the skis kinda wear down they become prone to getting waterlogged.. which means they get heavy.

if you are strong enough to pull them around for spins and such theyll be fine but if your a not a big kid they will feel really heavy

how many times can you ski on them before they start to wear bad and get water-logged?

not that much.... although i hit rails pretty hard and do some andy parry tricks so the tops get beat up a bit more.... but if i were you i would invest some more money and get a more quality ski that may be more durable. this is just from my experience. others have different opinions that you should listen to aswell... can never go wrong with an armada ski
