Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone has an opinion on which is better? Line or Armada? I have K2 recoils now which kinda suck...I was thinking either Line Chronics or Armada T-Hall or AR7's..I live in Minnesota so ill be riding a lot of hard pack but i am going to move out west after highschool..I am learning 270's on rails as well as backy's on kickers..Going out to MHSSC next winter! Wondering what the best ski is for my overall ability!? THANKS

I'm a Minnesota skier that rides AR7's and they are a great ski.

Considering im a bigger guy who puts his skis through hell I would have to say if you want a better quality ski that will last you a long time then go Armada.

Do the AR7's hold up well on kickers and jibs?

I have chronics and overall awesome all over the mountain. I do mainly groomers and rails and they hold up so well at a decent price

thanks for considering us! The new Chronic rules (of course we'd say that)

I'd not say that... My armadas snapped after 10 days and I don't ride reallly aggresively and some of my friends snapped them after like 20 days of skis otherwise alot of my friends have the same line skis for 2 to 4 years from now.. Yes the armada are really performant but don't say that they're not high quality as the line. The people are just over based on armada just because alot of pros are riding them so it affects alot ur point of view. They're like audi cars... It's my point of view sorry for the bad english it's my third language..

Yup I have sent my to hell and back and there are no cracks, fractures, or breaks. Just small surface scratches that will happen with all skis.
