Replying to Opinions
Looking to upgrade from my 2012 Armada AR7s this season. The three skis I'm looking at, Armada ARV 96, ON3P Kartel 96, and 4FRNT Vandal. Looking for a do-it-all ski as I'll be 50/50 park/all-mtn. Also worth mentioning I ski on the east coast (PA). My main concerns are durability and I also want a ski that is gonna hold up well at high speeds. I've heard some durability issues with the edges on the ARV. Also heard that the Vandal can get sketchy at high speeds. The Kartel would be the clear cut favorite if not for such a big rocker and the fact that I'll ski plenty of ice and crappy conditions of PA. How much of a concern is that aggressive rocker in shitty conditions? Throw out some opinions and help me make a decision, thanks!
