Hey ladies, back atcha with another classic "which ski should i get?"
Anyways, I need a new bomb ass park ski that I can ride almost every day of the season. This year I ran AR7's and had great luck until the underfoot started to have delam problems (never had an edge crack). I want to get the new AR7's because they are crazy cheap right now but I also want to keep my eyes open for other kinds of skis. So I ask you, what skis do you guys recommend? Any thoughts on Alpha X's?

Totally E-Dollos, by far one of my favorite skis, Very very buttery, thick enough for pow, very durable 2.5 mm edges. Highly recommend them, 10/10

B-dogs and E-dollos are your best bet, but i mean if you wait till next years like, the arv series is looking very promising.

^^Keep in mind that B dogs and edollos are VERY different skis in comparison to the AR7. Is your mind set on armada? If so, are you looking for something cambered like the ar7, or early rise tip/tail like the bdog, alpha x, edollo? If you choose to go the early rise route I HIGHLY HIGHLY suggest the alpha x over other options. It is sturdier, better constructed, and can handle more abuse than the edollo and bdog.

That being said, see my posts in the "what the heck armada?!" thread.

I had AR7s prior to this season, and I got edollos and I think it was my best decision ever. Funniest ski I've been on personal, but don't get them unless you like soft/playful skis. If you want something closer to AR7s but a little softer try thalls.

The other park skis from Armada has that, but edollos has 2.2, good skis but probably Armadas least durable ski. If you really love AR7 i doubt that's the ski for you, maybe look into Pipe Cleaner & volkl wall.

Sure its armadas least durable ski, but it doesn't mean it's not durable

Sure, my opinion is just from personal experience but i got a new pair tho. But compared to AR7 which seems to be their most durable park ski. But Edollo is a solid ski, really love it, works everywhere
