Hey, I going to buy new skis this season but cant decide between these 3. El Rey looks like a good deal for a low price but AR7 should be better and price is not that different and C7 should be perfect at groomers but I am not sure how good is in the park. I would appreciate every advice or experience which help me to decide.

Armada AR7 2011
Armada El Rey 2011
Amplid C7 2010

I am 180cm and 85 kg (about 170 pounds) and advanced skier. I ski 50% park, 15% powder and 35% groomers. I am not sure how long skis choose but I was thinking about +/- 170cm.

The AR7 is going to be better than the El Rey. The El Rey is more of a pricepoint ski.

You'll over power the el reys for sure, so definitely throw those out. I would say the ar7 would be really good for someone of your size. I havent ridden or heard too much of the c7, so im not sure on those. i know amplids are usually really light and fairly stiff, but usually expensive as well, so those seem like a good choice if youre willing to throw down the skrilla for them

ive heard the c7s are really stiff due to titanium stuff, and they are pretty skinny especially for 80 underfoot
