Gear talk isn't getting any views and these deals don't last forever sorry!
In my local shops there are some deals due to the lack of snow:

Atomic Aspect for $290.

Atomic Theory for $315.

Atomic Access for $379.

Armada AR7 for $399.

Salomon Suspect for $379.

Rossignol S7 Pro for $200.

What are the best skis on the list / what is the best deal?

And if you know anything about women's skis, my girlfriend found some deals as well:

Atomic Elysian for $315.

Atomic Affinity Storm for $440.

Atomic Century for $349.

What are the best skis on the list / what is the best deal?

Thank you!

Smaller sized all around ski. I do all mountain. Already have 08 Line Anthems that are too large for everyday skiing.

My girlfriend skiis groomers and light pow.

No. Do not get those S7s... THERE IS A MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN S7s and S7 pros. I own a pair of both. the s7 pro max out at I believe 160cm. It is a junior ski and all models except the 2012/2013 model dont have any rocker.

Having skied AR7s for the past 4 seasons, I can say that they're my favorite all-around ski I've ever ridden. If you're looking for something to slay park when your girlfriend isn't around, but still hang with her when she wants to dick around "en piste", then go with the ar7, no question

Listen to this man.

Rippin fat skis at all times is the way to ski like a boss.


Once you go fat you never go back. There is no reason to ever ski something that isn't 110-120 underfoot.

(Unless you are very weak or small I guess.)

Read my response.......... The S7 that OP stated is the s7-Pro. it is a junior, 90 underfoot ski. Not the adult s7.

Of course it depends what you're using the ski for. But the best deal/bang for your buck on that list is the Atomic Theory for $315, that's a crazy deal!

Yeah?  You think you have more fun on a heavy 110 waist ski everyday?  No, just no.
