Hey guys I was wondering what a good pair of all mountain skis might be. I was thinking the Armada El Rey but I don't know

How are we supposed to answer your question when you give us no information about yourself? How much do you weigh? Where do you usually ski? What is your style? What do you hope to gain by getting new skis?

DO NOT GET THE EL REYS. i had them for less than a season and they crumpled. The tails snapped, base peeled up, over half the edges tore out. Get something with sidewall construction

Kinda hard to answer this without some specific info but a good ski for all mountain would be the k2 shreditor 102 or the line blend.

Don't buy the el reys, they are actually wack. The edges pull out and the sidewall blows up and the bases are pretty shitty. Don't buy them

definitely get the el rays. bomb proof construction, you'll literally never have to buy another ski again.

seriously though, the AR7 is a pretty solid ski (I have the AR6 and it's still going strong.) a lot of armada skis are pretty much bomb proof, except for the el rays apparently lol. I've also heard line blends are a good mix of park/powder/groomer skis but I've never actually skied them.

kinda surprised this isn't turning into an ON3P orgy here.
