What are your takes on the new Al Dente from Armada?
Durable? And what would you consider like it?
I'm looking for a great park ski.. Had the THall from two seasons ago with the Rasta print, then i won a pair of suspects last year which i don't really like that much, and now i'm on the lookout for a new pair.. What would you guys recommend? i liked the soft flex the Al Dente has, but i'm not 100% sure it's the right choice... Cheers

I like al dente. Cooked but still got a little firmness to it, creates a great base for any pasta. Hope that helped!

You may not get a lot of responses to your question since that ski is a new model for '14. There may only be a handful of shoprats who were able to demo them before the end of last season. Nevertheless, skis.com's youtube page has more than one video review of the ski.

All three of their reviewers gave it a 5/5. I'm sure you'll find a way to enjoy this ski.

super fun ski. thinks way outside the box. way easy to butter. i am 5'9" 140 and im getting the 178 this year. felt solid on a 25-30 footer i got to hit on them. i also rode the 188 and liked it, but the extra length took some playfulness away for someone my size.

not a charging ski in the crud but carves well on groomers and is quick in tight trees. its also very light which is nice.
