I lookin to try out a new company for this season for skis. Im looking at a park ski and powder ski from the same company, possibly a really flexy pair ski for messin around at the local park and a stiffer ski for bigger parks and out west. And a powder/backcountry ski. Im wondering which line would suit me best for this season. Iv considered Armada with the Alpha 1 or thall and ar7, with the new Norwalks. Ive also considered LINE with the new traveling circus or something playful like the tc or afterbang with maybe the stepups, with maybe the influences or bacons. If money didnt play a role in this decision what company would be best for me?

Its not always the best idea to stay with one company. If you like a certain ski get it and dont feel obligated to get skis only from the brand.

Also it sounds like you should get thalls and hellbents

Don't limit yourself by sticking to a single brand. Theres really no point. If you mut though, I'd go with an Atomic or Armada combo, just my preference.

My setup is Armada: Thall + AK JJs. I really enjoy this setup it really suits me for my riding. But i am also thinking about trying to widen my experience with other companies. The t halls and JJs were my first two skis i ever purchased ive only been skiing for 2 years now. Once i am in need of new skis either park or pow i think im going to read up and do more research on ON3P and see whats good
