which ski? i would get 172 watchlife, 175 ARV, or 169 fujas. i live on the eastcoast and need something that carves well on ice. i also spend half my time in the park and would like something that can ski bumps and tight trees well. also if anyone has skiied all three which is most playful? which is lightest? which carves best? thanks NS

fujas. it kicks ass in exactly what you described. i own the 179s. i would reccomend mounting 1.5 back from core .

I ride the ARV's they are a super fun ski and do well in tight trees and can crave well. As for weight mine are heavier but i have them mounted with jesters so that may be the reason. Armada is a great company too, if you ever have any issues with you skis they will help you out!

The Fujas are probably the most playful. I have AR6s, and they are pretty good all around the mountain. Definitely not the best option for pow, but on the east coast that's not a huge problem.

The watch life is a sick ski especially in the park but they aren't the most durable ski. The top sheet is weak sauce and frays very easily and I heard that surfaces break alot but I havent broken any of my Surface skis yet.

that was my only concern really, i want something thats really durable and will last. i know armada and k2 make very durable skis. i guess im only between those two now. ARV OR FUJAS

Armada should be the most durable out of those 3 companies.
