ok so im 5 6 about 130-135...and my questions are should i get this ski becuase a)will i be able to ski them?now i play catcher for baseball and play around 50 games a summer and ontop of that i ride my bike probly 2 hours a day so my legs are in quite good shape..and b)will they be too fat for wat im doing, and im doing pretty much tons of natrual hits seeing as our mountain has a park but its poop so we just stomp out lips everywhere...and my final question is, how stiff are they?

ud probably be better off on some arvs in a 175 for bc booters since they will probably be easier for u to handle, unless u are mounting ur jps far forward i would suggest the arv 175 or maybe 185 if u mount forward

yes they come in a 179 length but your fucking nuts if you center mount them. Do the words off-piste mean anything to you? Im not trying to be a ass but centermounting those skis is a crime against the skiing world. I have a pair of the 191's on on order and there is no way that they will be center mounted. 2 or 3 back at least.

Im serous tho dont center mount them, you will regret it later

do u ski where i ski?no, u see we have no park..so whenever it snows we go and make rather large natrual hits(last year there was an 80 foot gap that kicked u 25-30 fete up) and seeing as i live in alaska we get a large amount of snow, and we have cliffs that i like to 180 into so wta im sayiong is out mountain is our park...so no, i will be center mounting them, or 1cm back

u shouldn't have any problem with them bro they are super buttery and really soft like prob the softest ski i have ever skied the width will take some gettin used to but you'll have a good time whereever your skiing. i am skiing gunlabs on and off piste and they are perfect if u can ski a wide ski in all conditions learn how to ski.

ski_cartel's right, you can't center mount that s***. Tanner's got them 3cm back from center, and both JP and Julien got them 5 cm back from center(check www.armadaskis.com ). center on pow pow skis = no fun in pow pow. But yeah, they're definatley sick skis, I'm getting me a pair, 188's I think.

You wanna go at least 3 back on the 188s or 5 back on the 178s ya dig? They are made specifically for what you do and have a recommended mounting point that is perfect for it. Most guys who try and ride big mountain go at least 2cm back from the recomendation which is really far foward. They will do what you want on the line.

ok befor i say a thing i am not trying to be a asshole but

are you fricken retarded? i mean if you hit stuff that huge in the deep pow and the steep lines you know the importance of having a bc style ski non-center mounted. I mean they are made for exactly what you describe so why would you want to destroy a beautiful ski like that. If you are absolutly set that it is the right thing to do then i might not be able to change your mind, but i sure as hell will try hard. These skis are exatly what you want and will benifit you emensly but why would you hinder there performance by center mounting them?

are you fucking kiddening me? are you saying you cant ride non-center mounted skis switch, inever knew that it was iposible. I dont know how i have managed all these years, i guess i have a gift. FUuck your moronic, have you ever even rode switch in real pow? It helps for stability all around when riding switch or not. Why is it that because some people on this site think they know a little they think they can say shit, befor you try to use you meager knolage to help next time stop and think that mabey someone else knows way more than you do and they are trying to help the situation, not just say random dum shit

you can go for the 178, you should be fine on them.

Don't centermount. get at least 3 back. Nobody on Armada's team even mounts dead center, TJ even mounts about 1.5 back from center on his park skis. go look on the website.

I believe it is 5cm back, but most guys I have talked to prefer it at 6-7cm back.
