I just sold my sth pistols and am looking for some new skis. I want something around 90mm underfoot which is versatile enough for dep powder, backcountry kickers, and park. Any ideas? so far ive considered the arv's, teneighty guns, dynastar big trouble (i think), and the public enemies. Ive never skied any of those and wanna kno what theyre like
oh and Im 6'3" and 185 lbs

86mm underfoot. they are pretty much the ultimate one ski quiver if the size is right up your alley. they kill the bc, they kill hardpack, and they kill the park. personal opinion, but you know..

Mojo 90. Theyre just the size your looking for. Good for bc, powder, trees, park and hardpack. Just a kick as ski overall. and the fact that their really strong doesnt hurt either.

Last years Armada ARV in a 185 is a great all around ski. And I say last years because from what I hear, this years are not as good of an all mountain ski, and way more Noodley. Anyways the 185 ARV are 92mm underfoot which is sick for all around. Also, the flex, will make you cream your pants, it is just so sick and smooth. That is my reccomendation.
