Replying to Skis.. skis... which skis?
Alright guys, you lot know a lot more about the dozens of skis out there than I do so I'm lookin for some help. ++karma.
Basically, I'm sick of my carver skis (Head C220 SI year.. 2004? 2005?), I outgrew them years ago but haven't got round to buying new ones. Last season I had my eyes on the 2008 Armada ARVs and am thinking of buying the 2008s this season with Dynastar PX 12 Jib Wide bindings.
Skill Level:
Blacks comfortable - carving, somewhat comfortable doing quick short turns.
Off-piste - I can ski bowls fine, trees had some troubles with but I'm going to use the "it was my skis" excuse
Park - none... :(
What I want is an all-mountain ski which I can ski fast with on piste if I want to, and have some good float when the powder days come. As for park performance I'm not really bothered as I'm slowly dabbing into that whole area. Bindings wise, nothing too stiff I guess as my knees love popping out of place, but I think I could just lower the din setting.
Watcha reckon? Thanks.
