Was wondering the same thing. Would Blends fall in there with the Wets as a choice?

Bdogs were the most versatile east coast ski. Soft enough to butter easily, stiff enough to go straight down anything, good shape to handle heavy pow.

yup. Good park skis imo are great all arounders in my experience. Also for icy east coast you dont want fat skis. Maybe revolt 95s would work too but the 87s have the volkl fis base that exerts genocidal pwnage everywhere.

They use the slow af s7 base tho. After personally experiencing the slowness of the armada s7 base the only armadas i would ever consider buying in the future are the dollos bc they have a much faster base than the rest of armadas lineup.



armadas skis are durable, but most of their skis use a base that is painfully slow.

You are absolutely correct on that. Bdogs were the only ski I would wax and brush inbetween almost every use.
