Replying to 4FRNT Switch vs Armada ARV 106 vs Bent 100
Hey gang,
I am trying to find a middle of the quiver ski that fits my riding style and size.
I am about 205, 6' and am now in my 30s so I don't send the park often, but still like to hit natural features, ski backwards, and generally have a good time carving and popping of whatever.
I typically ride Mammoth, but also visit other resorts on the west coast. I sold off my Reckoner 102s as they were just too soft, I liked everything else about that ski except that at speed it was a bit of a noodle and I could feel myself folding the tips in.
Ideally, I am looking for a ski that is fun to ride on days with a little bit of fresh, wind reset pockets, or left over powder. My quiver consists of the Black Crows Mirus Cor as my sunny day skis, and the Reckoner 112s as my dedicated pow ski, so I don't want anything too close to these in terms of ride.
I am leaning towards the Switch, as they seem to be stiffer then both the ARV 106 and the Bent and have more of a symmetrical design. I am looking for someone to confirm this if possible. Also open to something >180 length with a turn radius below 20m and close to symmetrical design.
Thanks everyone
