I'm currently riding the Armada ARWs and I have been since about 2014. I'm pretty happy with them but sometimes when I'm on a more powdery run they feel a little thinner/unstable. They're all-mountain park but my park phase is diminishing lol. Looking for something more versatile and powder-friendly!
I've been looking at black crows, faction, sego, and a few other brands (I've never skied with any of those). Any recommendations/suggestions would be appreciated! :)
I really recommend going to a 2 ski quiver. Expecting one ski to do it all is rough, they end up just being mediocre or just okay at everything. If your ARW's are still in good shape you should buy something more pow dedicated, you'll be having a ton more fun on those deep days on some true powder skis. I'm biased but I really love the Volkl Two's now renamed the Volkl Revolt 124, I write a pretty detailed review a few posts down on this thread https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/822697/Opinions---experiences-with-the-Volkl-Two-
If you are still set on a one quiver I'd probably go for the 4frnt devastator or maybe the 4frnt hoji if you don't care about park, but those are leaning on the big mountain side of things (sounds more like what you want?). If you want more tailored suggestions let us know your location and the type of skiing you plan on doing..
