So I'm lookin to buy a new pair of skis this summer and but can't choose between 13/14 Fat-ypus gbutters or 13/14 Armada ar7's. I would like a ski i can mobb around the whole mountain on but ski in the park quite a bit (probably a 50/50 ratio between the 2, and a couple pow days each season). I will be skiing on the west coast if that makes a difference, just wanted to know which ski holds up the better all around in pow, on groomers, and in the park

G-butter or L-Toros fatypus is a sweet brand and I'm willing to bet if you choose their skis you won't regret it.
