Alrighty so my buddy needs some new sticks this season.
He is 145 lbs and 5' 7", wants to take these all over the mountain and use them for the deep days as well.
So about 30% groomer 40% pow 30% park
(Skis on Mt. Hood)
What do you think?)

The ARVs by Armada would be great. They are a soft ski, that can butter it up in the park, and slay pow pow.

Just got myself some Armada JJ for those sort of things. I don't do so much park so I didn't look into edge strength so much.

Here is a review on them which i found useful and if you read on there is another review on that page.



Freeskier magazine gave the ski an 8.5/10 and have a review here.

Armada ARVs would be sick
http://armadaskis.com/product/skis/ARV.php

also look at bluehouse districts and MR's. theyre having a mad sale and bluehouses are dope MR's are a little skinnier than districs, but both super nice set-ups.

And Rossignol S5's are a pretty sick option too

suggesting elizabeths and prophets in the same sentence? nice work dude...

JpvsJu for a more pow orientated setup, rossi s3 would be the more versatile choice, but is also rockered. yeah get that.
