So i went to ski camp and demoed 2 pairs of skis the k2 seth Vicious and the new armada Ar5's i found the Vicious' much nicer to ski on in the park than my public enemy's however the Vicious' offer a great powder ski the AR5's function just as well in the park but are no powder ski. I need ideas on skis that function as good park and powder skis for less than the vicious'

They look dope. Maybe you should have checked out the ARV, as it is their backcountry/freestyle ski? They technically have three of them(ARV, JP vs Julien, ANT), but the ARV is more oriented toward inbounds stuff than the other two.

what the hell do you do in pow with ar5s. they are too skinny. sure they may "work" but get a fat ski. waist deep pow...maybe if it was the lightest snow that has ever graced this earth, and you definitely would not be on top of it. my k2 pes can handle powder, but they sure as hell dont make it fun or stable

yes, theres a diffrence between handling powder, and skiing powder. im sure ar5's could handle it, but it cant be much fun. and i bet you that somethin with like 10mm more will be more fun.

i agree, i've skied the ar5 and the arv in pow...there's no contest that the arv is a far superior ski for both park and pow. the ar5 can "handle" pow, but it's gunna be more work then it is fun.

I think that if you are a good skier, it will not matter where you ski: east / west / ak / europe.

If you feel comfortable on your skis, then get the phattest ski that you want. It will be an adventure learning to ski all over again with a fatty.

I think that this year I am going to mount up and just ski one ski all year - hopefull anything over 100mm in the waist. Last year I tried it, and adapted well and right away, so now I want a pair for everyday.

The Armada JP vs. Julien 188 cm - 126-103-116

I'm not sure on the Ant Pro but it's similar to the JP vs Julien

We still get powder in the east. Sure maybe not as much or as often, but we've had 3-4 foot dumps in the past and at least a handful of 2 footers every winter. But no, if you're from the east coast, you know nothing about powder or how to ski in it. I hate this east vs. west thing. Just because you live out there doesn't mean you're better.

So the JP v. Jul is only 3mm less than ANT underfoot?? But the two skis also only come in one size right??
