Hey so I live on the east coast, im 178 cm and weigh around 155lbs... I do park and powder and i was looking at the armada tst 174... Does anyone know how they perform in the park? And what would be the other alternatives?  Price is not an issue as i do future spins all the time... just kidding :P

Thanks!

This size is way to small and the tst in park would handle like shit. if your skiing mostly powder and just fucking around in the park I would get them but in the 183 size. But from what you said you ski I would go with the line sfb or blend. I'm an armada fan myself but they just don't make a ski for that niche

If your skiing mostly park I wouldn't, but if you do get them the 174cm size would be perfect

You might want to rethink that.

awesome all mtn/powder ski, not so much for park, if you do get them, get the 183, the rocker profile his pretty big on them so 174 will feel way to short for your size. Im about your size and i had no probleme riding de 192....

i would push you way more towards the ARV... the tst is a very directional ski... does not ski switch well at all, but it would be an awesome all mountain ski...

if you want something wider than the ARV, take a look at the 4FRNT Turbo

Re think it? It's a directional stiff ski meant for powder just cause Sean Logan uses them in park doesn't mean they handle well.

I saw Luggi Brucic from Armada ride the TST in Absolut Park in Austria, both kickers, rails and boxrs. It looked like he was having fun and seemed to be pretty stable.
