Camox vs candide ct 2.0 vs armada arv 96

What, where and how are you riding?

Meechy_brownoTrying to decide on a new pair of skis for the season. These are the 3 ive narrowed it down to, and am leaning more towards the camox. But im open for other suggestions.

Please provide us some minor details guy.

Where do you ski?
What kind of skiing do you enjoy?
What other skis have you owned/used and like or disliked?

See the problem is nobody here has any idea how this ski is meant to be used? Midwest rail ski? Big mountain? Slalom?

Unforntuneately i live in the uk but will be doing a lot of skiing the winter in the french alps. Im also going to be skiing next summer in nz for the season.

Im 19 and have been skiing since i was 3 and am now a level 2 qualified ski instructor. I havent had a lot of experience with different skis, the only skis i have owned are a pair of rossignol experience 88's. I want a pair of skis that can push me further and develop my skiing in all aspects of skiing i love like trees, side country, crud, bumps, park, piste. Something thats playful and versitile but can still handle a bit of piste.

All three of the skis are good choices for what you’ve described.
My personal bias would lean towards the camox as a first choice and then the CT2.0.
The camox is a weapon on piste but is still so much fun off piste and in the air,super versatile all round ski for a more agressive but playful skier.
CT2.0 would be softer than the Camox,meaning you might lose a bit of the strength and power when on piste.
Its waist is the widest at 102 so off piste in fresh snow will be super fun. A beefier park ski that loves to live in powder.

Thank you thats really helpful. Also what bindings would you recommend out of marker griffon 13 or Look SPX 12 dual WTR?

Personally I wouldn’t go for either of those bindings as alternatives such as the Tyrolia Attack 13 are usually much more positively reviewed and in my personal experience ski better.
If the griffin and SPX are the only options available for you then it’s a tight choice but most people would choose the Griffon 13

+1 for griffons

Why are you choosing between these two? Good deals? Shop hookup?

Shop hookup

In my opinion you shouldn't really get any of these skis, not cuz theyre not good skis but based on your background. But if you go with these I would say 1) Camox(best all terrain) 2)CT 2.0(best all terrain + park option) 3) armada (best park focus)

You're looking at pretty much only softer twin tip park skis with some all mountain capabilities. What you should look for, is all mountain skis with park capability. You want your skis to work well most of the time you ski so your ski needs to match MOST of the type of skiing you do. Since you only have skied carvers mostly, I would suggest moving towards something more directional and stiffer. The Faction Prodigy 3.0 would be a great ski to spin all over the mountain on, get good float, decent carving, and good all mtn capability. But its wider than your listed skis. I would suggest moving to something Ideallyin the 98-108mm range. Anything above 102/3 mm underfoot will feel substantially wider than what you have been on but that's okay. I would also put more skis like the nordica enforcer 100 one there(more all mountain), or maybe something like a Kartel 108, Candide 3.0(hardest to ski of all listed skis), or a K2 Marksman. If you can barely do a 360, dont get a park ski you dont need one.

I have a pair of Black Crows Captis 16/17 model for sale (the Camox's little brother). They are in 178cm with Marker Griffon bindings. Im also based in the UK give us a shout if you are interested 👍
