Looking at the armada al dente zeros cause they look like a cheaper version of the edollo. I’m about 80/20 park/powder. R they good for skiing outside the park?

I have some Al dente zeros, they are okay outside the park. The biggest issue with them is that the camber zone is stiff enough and the mount point far enough forward that even with tip rocker the tips like to dive in deeper snow. There is only so much leaning back and going fast that you can do to keep them floating on deeper days before your legs fatigue. I almost think the regular edollos would be better in pow since the camber isn't as stiff. My rossi slats handle pow better, but they aren't as poppy as the zeros, it's always a trade off if you're looking for a ski to do it all.

I don't know, I only own the zeros and haven't ever found somewhere that would demo the edollos.

That’s cool, if my price too high you can maybe buy a cheaper pair of someone else.
