Hey ladies! What are you using as a west coast all mountain setup?

I live in BC and need to replace my Armada ARV 96s. A new all mtn ski would fit into my Armada 116 JJ UL and 4frnt kye 110 quiver, so I’d prefer it to be sub100 underfoot. My preferred resort terrain is essentially everything off-piste but my home mountain hasn’t been getting a lot of snow the last few years so I need a ski that can carve it up during those dry periods. I love hitting natural features and am an aggressive skier but I don’t spend much time in the park.

The ones on my radar are Rossi Black Ops 98, Moment Hot Mess, or maybe some more arv 96s. Also looked at some on3p Jeffrey 96s, I know they’re marketed as all mtn/park, but they sound super fun and playful yet sturdy on hardpack. Open to any and all of your suggestions though! Cheers ladies and tysm in advance :)

I have 172cm 98 Armada Tracers with shift bindings. I use them for touring and all mountain. I absolutely love them. They’re cruisers or bombers and get me through anything. Super fun skis.

These weren’t on my radar before this but they look sweet!

I'm still riding my rossi slats as a do everything. I tried for a whole season to like armada al dente zeros as a replacement but they never felt as good as the slats. Rossi makes nice skis, I've been eyeing the black ops also. If I didn't ride park ever I'd probably just ride gotamas / mantras or 4frnt devastators for everyday, I love a good chargey crud busting ski, especially if you are riding off piste in non ideal conditions. Volkl revolt 95s are another ski you might consider if you are set on something sub 100mm.

I’ve skied 3 different types of moments and honestly never liked any of them... which is a bummer to say because they’re a local company to me. The quality to price just doesn’t add up well for me. I haven’t personally skied the wildcat tours but my dude friend tours on them and claims to love them. I think if you can demo them, you should! :)
