4frnt MSPs if you can, i like them the most out of the 3. But i dont know how you ski. I use them for my allmountain skis, i take them fast on groomers, they are fat enough for pow, and they are amazing in the park.

If you're riding in Ontario(as your screenname suggests), I'd have to suggest an AR5 or a scratch FS. Not too sure on why you'd want a pair of ARVs or Scratch BCs, though they would be more stable.

excuse me for being a party pooper, but arnt the BC's and the ARV's really different, when i demoed the BC it was pretty soft, and from what i have seen in my shop the ARV seems pretty stiff. i would say, if you are agressive like you say you will want a stiffer ski. have you considered the mojos? im on them and i love them to death.

Mojo? soft? Have you been skiing on metal plates until now or what?

in case my analogy didn't work, it was supposed to imply that ron jeremy isn't ever soft....no one probably got that though huh?

and no, the mojo isnt soft. i would say that it is one on the stiffest twins out there.

well is money a consiteration here? or how about aviablility. basically go out and demo to see which ski you prefer if you cant do that then just the ski that you can get the best deal with. the skis wont make a huge difference if you save a few bucks on them. if not go with 4frnt for one of the best skis. K2 if price is a concern. Armada if you wanta be cool like tanner hall

Thanx, for the response! No man there is powder in Ont. haha, i mean its only a foot but what the hell.. but that doesnt matter because i am in Calgary now and there is always powder to be found in the mountains!!! I need a ski that holds its own in the mountains but can still make its way around the park! also 175ish or 185???

Thats a tough one... I hate to reccomend the PRs to anybody, but I'm leaning... no, nevermind, MSPs (If you want it stiff) Scratch BC (Probly the best choice) or maybe MTs, but MTs dont float on powder so much as rip right through it.

I dont know... the 180 4 frnts sound pritty good, they are fat enough!! and if they can handle in the park. I have heard that armadas are super strong, do you think the msps will hold up???

the MSPs are amazing in the park, ride really smooth and have tons of pop.

Nekther MSPs nor Armadas are known for being indestructible... lots of people just destroying Armadas, and quite a few having trouble with the bases of the MSP. The madtrix are the only truly bombproof ski (Vpros aren't bad).

I won't hesitate to recommend a Scratch BC. It works well in the pow, and more than holds its own in the park. I ride a 176, and there's nothing wrong with it.

the new volkl karma's look pretty sweet, have the close the to same width of the 176 sratch bc 87mm waist. They look pretty beefed up version of the v-pro;s

my friend completely destroyed the edge and base of his v pros after half a season taking pretty good care of them.
