WTB: Fat, soft-ish all mountain ski...
Posts: 5536

I really, really need a new all mountain ski for next year, so here's what I'm thinking:
- 100mm underfoot (give or take a little bit)
- 180cm or more
- Not very stiff, I'm tall but skinny.
I'm looking at the 185 ARV, 179 Seth (all variants), 182 Mothership Flite...something like that.
So if you have any of these for sale (in decent shape and cheap is preferrable) or something similar, throw it out, I'm just seeing what's available, as I have time before season starts, but I'd love to get a good deal on some sticks before the last summer/early fall crunch.

I scored some surface live lifes for utah next year and I haven't skied em yet but they're lookin pretty tight. nothin to sell though so can't help you out... oh and whoever said ar6s... something's wrong with you. I've got some and they are a sweet ski, but not for someone who wants a 100 mm waist. granted the live lifes are almost as far from 100 as ar6s, but in a way sweeter direction!

WORD! I'm not at all interested in the AR6... but the Live Lifes look awesome, and I'd be interested in something more than 100, 110-115 would be cool, I just don't want anything less than like...95 or so.

I'd love a pair, but they are so hard to find, and so expensive when you can get them.

Already have a pair of rockered skis coming, so I don't want it on these, rocker isn't good for all-mountain.

Sell me some cheap then, I can get the 9's for a really low price, and even though I'd rather ride another brand, for reasons most people here will be able to guess, I don't want to spend twice as much for the Seth, or any other ski.

Possibly, the Goats are a little stiffer than I think I'd want...but I'd consider them, the VCT would be right up my alley if I could find some for cheap, selling a pair, by chance?

cheapest i've found them is 499 on ebay, aside from someone selling a pair here for a little cheaper.
