Whenever I think ive found "the" ski.  Another one pops up.  I just wanted to hear some opinions on the Armada AR6 and the 4Frnt STL.  I ride only park.  I have another ski for pow so im not worried about having an all around ski.  And Please dont tell me another ski other than these two cause this is taking long enough as it is. Any information deserves Karma. Thanks in Advance.

well i've never ridden STLs but my general impression from posts on here is that they are fairly soft and pretty durable.. they are also pretty light.. the ar6 I spent a day on and it is a good mid flex park ski, good all mountain and a lot of people love it.. i bought volkl walls instead which turned out to be a major error in judgement.. anyway thats about all i can give you.. ar6 are a really good ski i would recommend them.. they also come in loads of sizes so it's easy to get the right length which is always good

I'd take the AR6 over the STL any day.

ar6s are going to last a long time, armada makes a nice durable ski.

this year I skied both Ar6 and STL. I liked the ar6 a little more. ar6 are stiffer overall and more stable when hitting large kickers. they have more pop and I think they perform a little better switch. A little heavier than the stl but wtf who cares. They are really durable with beefy edges and wont get cracks so easy when hitting rails. STL durability isnt the best but there ok. Its a really fun ski, nice to have fun with in the park and easy to butter + they are light. What I don´t like about them is the softer nose. dont care about my bad english, hope it helped.

Same here, but then again he didn't give a shit about his skis.

I'd take the AR6's. My friend had a pair and he loved them, he still likes them more then his new Thrusters.
