The final decision with the armadas..

okay so i know ive made a thread on this already but i didnt get the answer i was looking for.

just got some 2009 armada ar6 in size 166. i also have 2010 marker griffons

i weight 110 pounds and im 5 foot 5 and an advanced skier.

this is my first twin and my first year of actually getting serious with park. im previously coming off skis that are size 140 (haha i know) and mounted like -6...

im going to be skiing 60% hardpacked/groomers and 40% park..or vice versa depending on snow conditions (i ski in PA)

so my main concerns are if i go -2.5 that i will have trouble with rails and if i go -1.5 that they will lack too much all mountain carving ability and i will have to change my stance drastically

thanks and sorry for my stubberness and ignorance

From reading the previous comment you definitely instigated this argument. And i thought you were all about not caring for an internet argument. you're a troll!

i said i mounted it centre because i ski switch alot. and i prefer the looks of a ski mounted dead centre. if i would follow the crowd, simply from looking at everybodys opinion here then i would mount it where it should be mounted.

but yeah last year was really my first year skiing park, i used to ski k2 apaches and they could carve but my volkl dogens carve just the same and function well in the park while being center mounted
