.LincolnNot gonna be your best skis outside the park. They're skinny and have no rocker. If you wanted a park ski from armada that could handle all mtn, maybe take a look at alpha x. You could also look at bdog or al dentes but since you chose pipe cleaners I'm assuming you like stiffer skis.
Dropbombs8Ok thanks but looking at the b dogs and wondering are they too soft for larger jumps or should I go for the al dentes. I'm used to a stiffer ski but just wondering how the b dog will do on that. When I'm in the park I'm usually doing about 65% jumps and 35% rails so knowing that is important to me.
.LincolnIf you like the specs of the bdog maybe go alpha x. Bdog could handle big jumps but it's not gonna be as forgiving as the alpha x. Alpha x is the same deminsions as bdog just stiffer.
As for al dente. I can't give you too much help. I've heard so many things about them I couldn't tell you how'd they do.
Also how big are your jumps you hit? Because the bdog might be able to handle them well if they aren't tooo big.
NikOtiNAlphaX (95mm waist) weigh more than PC (86mm waist)
NikOtiNIf the difference in weight significantly, the heavier skis will always have a heavier swing weight.

.LincolnYes that can be true but with a park ski with carp construction you'll find the swing weight will be very low. And alpha x aren't too much heavier than pcs
.LincolnAnd also I forgot to tell you that the bdog will hand 20-30 ft with ease. You'll notice a difference in stiffness on the alpha x on the bigger jumps like 30+ feet. Either would be a great option.
ShaolinTangPipe Cleaner is an awesome ski, skied it next to al dente. But it's really small and stiff, and the al dente is very wide and soft.. i summer skied b-dog for 2 weeks and personally i thought it was better for big jumps then al dente, but like you guys talked about it seems like alpha x is an even better alternative for you. Personally i like rails better then jumps so b-dog is perfect. But if it's the PC you're looking for, it's absolutely a ski that can handle big jumps
