'09 Armada arv or '09 line chronic?

Coming from 09 chronics last year, i switched to the AR6 this year.  i didn't like the way the lines rode.  it's a personal preference, i beat the crap out of my lines and they help up ok.  I also like a little softer ski, so i went with the AR6. I felt like i was waxing the chronics every 2-3 weeks.  only skiied last years AR6 for 1/2 a day and loved them.  so this year i made the switch.  You'll be happy with either ski.  We dont have any snow, so i have no idea how this are going to compaire.

Hope that helps.

thank you for the help. i still gotta do alittle research

please feel free anybody to add your advice

thank you, there both sick skis but i saw some reviews and they said that the chronic was for park skiers who wanted to do a lot of park and some all mountain and the arv's are the opposite

oh really? hmm, im kind of an all mountain girl with some park. i may have to do some reconsidering ha

chronics are an all mountain park ski more oriented park skiers would go for the anthem

im gonna ski my anthems for the first time on sunday, ill tell you how i like them

I have the 07 Chronics and as long as the new ones aren't that different from mine I would recommend them. The Chronic is a fantastic ski, it's not super fat underneath which is great for carving some groomers and pretty much killing it all mountain, but it also holds it's own in the park, especially on jumps. The ski is pretty stiff but has a lot of pop and gives a lot of room for error. Countless times i've landed backdeck and these skis have saved me from sliding out. Unfortunately they don't allow for the best of butters (though still quite possible if you know what you are doing) and such tricks due to their stiffness, but this is an easy sacrifice for me since the stiffness also helps reduce speed chatter. Only real complaint is the lack of symmetrical flex, though I recently center-mounted mine and now they ski switch fine. As for the ARV, I have never tried this exact ski. I have several friends who ride Armada and they both say great things. One of them even races on a pair of 08 AR6s and loves 'em. The ARV is for sure and a good all-mountain/park ski however is would question the little extra flex they have over the Chronics. But no matter what i'm pretty sure you couldn't go to wrong with either. However is I make another suggestion, get a pair of Amplid Antidogmas. I know several people who ride these and they all shred them all mountain and park. The ski seems to have the perfect combination of flex and stiffness and to top it off it's a true twin.

thank you ns is such a huge help because there are people who actually ski and have skied on the skis im looking at.

thanks! thats the best comparison ive heard so far and it helps a lot!

Sure thing, I hate it when I can't find decent reviews.
