Saw people talking ab teams in the K2 thread and was curious who everyone thinks is the best and so on.
Personally I really don't pay enough attention but in terms of who I think the sickest teams are:
1. Faction
2. Armada
3. K2
4. ON3P
5. Line

mmccarthy81K2 having bought Line doesn't make their two separate teams into one team. Still two different companies, two different kinds of skis, and two different teams. If they bought them out and branded what was once Line as K2, it would be a different story

I know that i was just pointing out how K2 owns line

Then you said "in a way K2 has the line team"... no. 2 separate teams.

I would have to say
Volkl (they are all around stacked, ski them or not.)
Armada (Obviously.)
K2, who make pretty dope edits, but I haven't seen too many (recommend any tasteful edits?)

I think it’s funny that I was getting shit for claiming on3p had one of the best teams in skiing last year when they added Meeks but not that theyve added a few more new wave riders everyone’s making that claim now

84westSeriously. Sage, Benchetler, and Durtschi are arguably the best riders on their team.

Don't forget about mcnutt

I was going to say, I feel like Sage Chris are the backbone of their freestyle team and imo Chris Benchetler is one of the most talented skiers when it comes to steep and deep.

Chubz.YOOOO PLEASE explain to me how Christian franchino is washed. I’m almost certain he’s younger than both Hackel and Keegan..and he’s absolutely destroyed the field at rails 2 riches the last 2 years, beating out guys like sandy boville, Emile Bergeron and khai krepela to win it all in 2015. The kid has one of if not the most unique consistent rail game and is probably the most stylish skier on east coast right now.


Never sleep on Frank but nah Hackel and Keegs are the youngest on the squad

lol, this video is a great example of how a ski company can blow a season's profit in like a week.

Armada just due to Sammy C and Dollo. The Sammy C Project was one of the raddest things I've seen in years and Sammy's big mountain lines are next fucking level. Henrik Harlaut is the best park skier on earth, that's all that really needs to be said. Like I said, I think those two alone are the most progressive skiers around right now and make Armada the most compelling factory team but the fact that Armada is rounded off with Tanner, Phil, Torin, Hornbek, and Ligare pretty much solidifies their place on the mountaintop for me.
