alright, I ski in wisconsin, but take trips several times a year.  im about 5'9 175 pounds and ski about 50/50 park and all mountain.  i want a fatter ski that can do it all. I've been looking at the arv but ive heard some bad things about them, or just armada in general.  I have also been looking at ghettos and brigades, but will take suggestions.  thanks in advance

ARV sounds like the ski for you. And i, along with many others, can personally attest to ARMADA's legit-ness.

ARV FTW!

Salomon Guns (soft) and Line blends (pretty stiff) and Volkl Bridges could work

ARV's are dope, and Salomon Guns are also the shit, you have a lot of choices in the 90ish waist range.

also, for a little stiffer ski, Mojo 90

I was going to recommend Line Blends, but all the skis listed here would be good. They're all about a 90 waist, 125 tip if it helps.

scott punishers, I skied waist deep pow with them last week, and shredded some park.  they kill groomers,  and are pretty cheap.  my shop sells them for 459.  get some, you'll be stoked.

ARV and Brigade are both solid skis
the ARV is softer and will be more playful and forgiving
The brigade will be less forgiving but reward u more performence wise

so toss up from there hope that helps!

o and, if you ahve the money get the guns over the brigades...the only reason i got brigades is because they go onsale more so i found them cheaper.  guns is a more fun/responsive ski
