I'm 6'6", I ski very agressively and am fat, no-lets just say bigboned? 245. Looking for all-mtn ski. This ad appeared and am wondering if theyre too soft: arv 185cm last years' with bindings he wants $225. I know the price is right, but will I blow these babies up? Never skied Armada-heard good things from my more 'diminutive' friends. Just wondering.

too soft.  you're too big for those skis.  trust me, i have them in 175, and i'm only like 160 lbs, and they're pretty damn soft, even for me.

while the skis are soft, I feel they are some of the best wider boards I have riden. it depends on the type of riding you want to do. i feel the softness makes them more agile in tight places. from your user name, do you ski abasin? if so i really like the ski in the alleys/ pali area (tighter spaces/bumps). I am 6-4 and 170 lbs and ride the 175 length. I like them everywhere, but they are soft and might not perform as well for you in large open situations. hope that helps
