Bdogs All Mountain

The Armada Bdogs look super fun, I ski park about 80 percent of the time and am looking for a playful park ski that can butter but still be solid for rails and jumps, and the bdog seems to check all those. I do ski all mountain when the snow is good (sucks this year) so I’m worried the bdogs wont be up to par out of the park. If anyone has any experience with the bdogs with edges out of the park, I’m interested in how it was. Thanks!

They’re like any other park ski out of the park I guess? I ski a Prodigy 2.0 as my daily/park ski, and it’s good outside the park. The BDog isn’t gonna be a great option to drop 20 footers or ski late afternoon chop at Mach 10, but if you like to carve on groomers and try to snipe side hits/trannys, they’ll do that just fine, especially if you’re in the park 80% of the time.

They ski pretty short and are pretty soft(even the longest length feels short af) so it depends how you ski. If you just wanna go do little jibs around the mtn then you’re good, but they’re not gonna be the best for charging around

Yeah thats what I've heard. Probably a little too on the park side for what im looking for. Would you guys know if the arv 96 a better armada option for a 80 percent park ski and a bit of all mountain?

If you’re truly 80% park the BDog would be fine. What are you doing around the rest of the mountain? Chargin hard, dropping cliffs, etc? Or trying to find side hits, buttering, etc? If it’s the second one, go BDog. If it’s the first one, go ARV 96.

Yeah definitely the first one. Plus the arv has a size 184 and thats great as I’m taller and the bdogs only go to 180. Thanks for the help
