I am looking to get some new skis for this season and was wondering what to get. I have been looking at Armada a lot but not sure still. I'm 5 11 and 185 pounds, I also live in the Midwest/east coast area and ski almost all park. Thx

What kind of ski do you want?

Soft/Stiff

Rockered/full camber

Price point?

Thin/wide waist?

rails or jumps or both?

If you want an Armada ski, id check out the ARV series for a slightly rockered, soft but stiff ski that you can do everything on. The AR7 will be a stiffer and solid ski to use. IMO if you ski the east or midwest there isn't a reason to get a full camber ski. Everything is small and you can screw around on, which a soft ski delivers on.

yeah def. if you almost only ski park and hard snow, id say ar7s (they no longer exist but you could find some i bet, plus i think this year's ARV86 is almost the same ski)

if you ski soft snow ever id say go up to ARV96

both (/all 3) skis are nasty. buy em and be done, resting assured you got really sick skis for what youre doing

I will always vouch for the Line Blend, its just too fucking fun! They took my skiing to a whole new level, and they are the most fun skis I have ever ridden.
