What skis should I get?

You gotta tell us more I.e height weight skier ability what you ski wheather it's more park or more pow if you like a stiff ski or a playfull one

Im 6 foot, 185 and am an advanced skier on the mountain but only intermediate in the park. I ski on the east coast so a lot of crud. Id like a ski that I can use all over the mountain and get good performance. Right now I have salomon suspects and I like those but i might want to go for a more playful ski. Basically I just want to be able to use them all over but still get good performance in the park and the mountain.

Take a look at the moment pb and j, fatty pus l toros, or on3p jerominos

im looking to spend around 500

The ar7 sounds like a good choice but I would not consider it to be any more playful than the suspect. But it can definitely go anywhere and do anything on the east coast.

Is there anything more playful than the ar7 that will be able to handle the mountain decently?

If u wanna stick with armada, id suggest the alpha 1 or the thall. Dont get me wrong, the ar7 is a great ski, but it is not buttery or really playful. It does have a lot of pop. The alpha 1 is rocker and is a lot like the halo (same dimensions ar50 sidewall) but is a little stiffer which should help with east coast crud. The thall is alot like the ar7 but is softer (same dimensions, ar50 sidewall ,camber). The thall sounds like a good choice because it is a little softer than the ar7. I have 2010 ar6, and they work all over the mountain and can handle anything from park to groomers to ice to crud. In conclusion, if you want an armada ski that is playful yet can still handle the whole mountain, I think the thall would be a good choice because it is durable, playful, and has the same dimensions and construction as the ar7 and is camber which should help keep the ski stable in the bumps and crud.

I don't necessarily have to stick with armada, id be up to getting abything

You could also look at k2 domain, atomic punx, line mastermind, or the traveling circus ski. All of those are pretty playful. The only one that I know anything about is the domain. My friend has it and it is very buttery but still seems to work very well on all snow conditions even with the jib rocker. They seem durable as well.

Ok well I'm going to my local shops tomorrow to see what they say. I'll let them know what I'm looking for thougj
