yeah, it's weird that the skis you have it narrowed down to are nothing alike. You've got powder skis in there and all mountain skis of all different sizes and shapes. Hecide what you want first, then go look at skis that fit your description.

The thing is, you can decide what ski you want now. But in a month your mind will change. I've done the exact same thign so many times.

what?? el reys. you have a list of crazy nice skis then you throw in armadas version of a cheap beginner park ski? you really have no clue. just wait till it actually gets close to the next season. by then people will no more about them. right now just enjoy this season

peeps, a ski like the vicious might be okay for this guy... if he's an expert skier, as he claims, and he's really 190 pounds, i'm willing to bet that he could throw around a big ski all right.  not what i'd pick first if i were him, but that's me.  soft, i'm sure he could butter 'em... and wide, not too bad for landings for a guy his size.

noone on NS should even consider them. they are bargain bin skis. unless you are just startin out in park or you are seriously strapped for cash. they won't be solid at all. the fleet series for armada were actually goin to come with a package deal. sounds good but its just for the crap skis. armada is really sellin out
