I live on the east coast and am looking for a durable rail ski, that can also do all mountain. Which would be best for the job?

I mean the arv 86 and the edollo are two very different skis. The 86 will be much stiffer and the edollo will have more rocker in the tip. It depends on your style of skiing and what you like in a ski. If you like a stiffer ski ride the 86, if you want a softer wider ski get the edollo. Or meet In the middle with the arv 96

If you want a durable ski, don’t fuck with armada, ski something like Volkl or k2 or salmon

Hahaha this a good one.

Besides ON3P, Armada is right up there with the best and most durable park skis in the game. No way a pair of Walls will hold up better than the Armada line. I've skied AR7s and THalls for the past 3 years now and never had serious durability issues. Had a pair of Volkls (steps, yea i know they ain't great) and they barely lasted the season. Obviously this is my personal experience and may vary with different styles of skiing but yeah that's my 2 cents
