First a bit of stats 6' 160lb, used to race (I still like an aggresive ski style), own the fuj, and PE. Now thinking about getting the line eliz. Looking to have a wide ski that can possibly be used on powder days and park (i love the width). Are there armada skis that may be similar but maybe a little stiffer then the elizs any thoughts? Is the softness of the elizs similar to those of the fujis? Any thoughts?

the elizabeth is the softest ski i have ever flexed...are you looking for something short like that or did you just like the width and softness. As far as armada goes i havent really looked into much lately but i would say the ar6 maybe??

I don't know really. Partly I wanted the ski for its artistic value, eventhough thats the dumbest reason to buy a ski in the first place. Further I let myself be convinced by the beautifully sounding description of how they perform. I really don't know how long the ski should be. My PEs are somewhere in the amgintude of 173 or 176 (not sure and too lazy to measure) my fujis are inlineskates. I guess id want a ski as stiff as the PE and similar in width to the eliz

I don't think there is a similar ski to the elizabeth from Armada. The elizabeth uses eliptical sidecut unlike anything from armada. The sir francis bacon from LIne uses the same sidecut but in a longer/wider ski. You may also want to check out the Surface Live life and live life2.

theres really NO ski like the Elizabeth! its pollards park ski, so its built like a park ski only its 110 underfoot. no other company have a 110 parkski. the arv is close at 93 but 110 is huge

I would get the elizabeth, you won't be dissappointed, most fun ski ever. If I had to pick another ski for pow/all mtn/park it would probably be the seth.
