The shop I work at is going over the final decisions for next years twin tips, we are located in kitchener.
we have narrowed them down to:
line Chronic
line chronic blend
line anthem
line shadow
armada t hall
armada pipe cleaner
k2 fugative
k2 public enemy

we want to know what would be your top 3 choices, including lengths.

thanks

I'd go with both pairs of armada's and the chronic blends. Sport mart and Sport Chek already have the public enemys and fujatives, so maybe go with something not already in supply around the area, and the armadas and chronic blends are quality.

the sportmart/sport chek's  in our area are b and c level stores.   basically scratch sprayers, silencer and techno rpx
also for bindings we will be bringing in look px 12 jibs and possibly some salomons

chronics, anthems for sure, and thalls..i live in kitchener too. But make anthems your number one priority they are such a sick ski.

If you want to sell through it, get the K2's and one of the armada's. You'll sell the K2's with no trouble and you wont have to deal with Line.

well technically we will deal with line since k2 owns line.
so far this season we've sold through all but one pair of ar6's.  not one pair of invaders sold, so they're getting axed for next year

screw line, armada and all other noodles. have movement in your shop, the best ski in the industry. they don't break, the edges don't crack, they have a crap load of life in them and as an added bonus, they don't suck outside of the park.

i agree with you on the basis that movements are awesome skis, but the fact is that they wont move in ontario because they arent very well known and dont have the brand image that makes skis sell in ontario. Kids in ontario buy equipment based on what is popular, which is why brands like armada do so well. On that note, bring in the t hall, and if you can get your hands on a pair go for one or two pairs of the pipe cleaners as well (theyre pretty limited production, but one of the nicest skis ive ever ridden). Also, if you can't move invaders, then you definitely can't move anthems, but i'm looking to go onto a pair of those for next year, so there might be a sale in it for you. Chronics allways seem to go decently, and i dont know why, but they do, so maybe order those instead of your invaders next year. Chronic blends on the other hand dont seem to sell as well, so definitely limit your order on those. As for girls skis, i personally wouldnt touch them. Finally, any k2 is allways a safe bet saleswise, but know who sells what before going into them, there's allways at least a couple other stores selling em. Thats my opinion.
P.S. I live in KW, what shop is this?

I forgot K2 owns Line now. In the past Line has always been a pain for shops to deal with, but that might all change now that K2 owns things... If your looking for a safe bet then its all about k2, the rest is which company looks more appealing to you.

out of that list... scrap Line.... K2 I guess... and Armada I guess too... big ones tho.. short skis suck. certainly not a line up of skis I would be stoked on....get something that wont break after a month or 2 of serious riding. (ie: nothing that you've got right now)
