I’m only skiing park and I’m looking for some useful Armada skis. I got the Line Honeybadger for two years now: the 2020 and 2021. They can’t take anything. The ledge got fucked up way too often. Any thought on the 2022 line up, any suggestions of skis I should choose?

edollo, bdog, or arv 86 would be the best 100% park skis i believe. the 96 is more all mountain-y but it's really not that much different then the edollo.

This right here. B Dog is softer, E Dollo is softer tip than tail, ARV86 is basically a revamped AR8 so comp ski and the ARV96 is a more mountain accessible ARV86

The ARV 96 is 100% different than the Dollo what??? The Dollo is stupid soft in the nose and has full camber through the tail. The ARV 96 is rockered in the tip and tail and the flex is way more uniform throughout, plus it’s stiffer because it’s more “all-mountain,” oriented.

i mean of course they're different but if i had to pick the two most similar skis out there, that pair would be at the top of my list. the dollo began as a tweaked arv96 and they've each had updates since then but still, pretty dang similar and the dude you quoted had a good list for this thread's question

i skied the edollos all this year and it isn't stupid soft in the nose at all tbh and it's 98 arv is 96 but yeah you're right i'm just saying the edollo really isn't that much different and you could use either for both

BDogs are Armada's Vishnus. Basically Rollerblades. So they're DOPE. ARV 106 is for BIG DAWGS. They teach you how to push a big ski. Dollos are literally the in between.

No one said anything about length, different models are being compared and obviously OP will get the correct size of whatever model he chooses lol

you said they're a big dog ski that teaches you to drive it. They're not...they're a playful freestyle shape with progressive mount points. Not what you described at all haha

Don't bite the red herring, this isn't a discussion of whether his skis are taller than him lol. ARV106s are playful, fat freestyle shape skis with pretty forward mount points. Not a big dog ski that demands to be driven. This is a really simple, demonstrable point

You said pure park right? For pure park and a dope, traditional, refined, proven, bread and butter park ski, arv86 is it, no question. Can find it for good prices too

Edollos are 100% more flexible than arvs. Maybe your arvs were short idk. But I’ve ridden both and could butter edollos pretty decent. My profile picture is me on arv 96s a few szns ago. Just get a strong core and legs and you can butter anything
