What's up ladies. I am torn between buying the ON3P Jessie 86 and Armada ARW. Both look like great park skis, but I just wanted to get some lintel from you guys! If you own or know someone who knows either of these skis, I'd love to hear your thought on them! Thanks!

I say the Armadas. I've never ridden a pair of ON3P's but I have two pairs of Armadas and they're easily the best ski I've ever owned, plus the ARW's look sick this year.

I have the 2009 ARW's and they're still going strong. That being said- I really want to get the Cartels. ON3P makes the most durable skis in the industry

ON3P. When I demo'd them they were stiff enough to handle all mtn/groomers, speed, and jumps. They aren't noodles by any means but you can still have a lot of fun with them. Pretty poppy and decently playful. They're rockered and I believe the ARW's are cambered and pretty soft. Jessie's sizes are 161, 171, 176. ARW's sizes are 161, 166. So if you're taller you may want to get Jessies. Or even try AR7's(ARW's male equivolent).

I copped a pair of ARWs last season, super super fun ski. They definitely have the play that I look for and are super rad for buttering. I got them right after I injured myself, so I haven't done a ton of park in them for my knee's sake, but they are an awesome ski that I'd totally recommend. Armada isn't the highest quality, so bare that in mind as well.
Then again Maude rides them so you know they're gucci.
