They are VERY different skis, so it kind of seems like you are either just getting into park and don't have a preference of skis, or you just want what B&E use. I would put up your height, weight, skiing ability, and what parts of the mountain you want to use them on. That way the pros on this sort of stuff can help you

How do you know? I mean the Edollo isn't even out yet and the new b dogs aren't either unless your comparing to last year when there wast an Edollo ski.

Right but the ski has still improved and so has the b dogs. This thread should be more about what to expect.

Guy at my mountain is sponsored by armada and had a pair of Dollos. They are the exact same ski as the al dente, but they look like they might have a little more rocker. I could be wrong though

Op. Even though they are "new" skis this season does not mean people have not skied tHem. Most brands will have skis ready to test in February. Shops decide what they will stock at about that time so buyers and shop staff are invited to test them to see whether we will stock tem.

I had the oppurtunity back in feb to try out the new armadas but they declined from allowing me to review them so I declined testing them but I'm sure many people here have tried them Here.

But as others have said they are not really new skis just slight updates so old reviews will still be relevant.

You sound like a 12 year old that just wants to use the same skis as B&E. Why would you limit yourself to just those two skis to compare? It is also literally impossible to say which ski is "better". Your height, weight, and where you ski are all factors in determining what the best ski for you is.

I would actually like to know what you guys think about this question. I have the opportunity to get either one but now that I'm not skiing as much park these days, which do you think has better all mountain capabilities?

I dont think the dollo would be all that good. Sure it has a nice width, but it is super soft and they are very bad durability wise.

If you're looking for a versatile, durable, one ski quiver, Faction Skis has always been a personal favorite. I would direct you to the Candide 3.0 (or 4.0 or 2.0 depending on if you spend more time in park or bc)
