How’s it going Everyone , I’m reaching out to hopefully gain some knowledge and opinions and what my next skiing setup should be . I’m looking to spend around 7/800 for the skis with bindings . I’m 6’2 235lbs and I’ve been skiing for about 4 years consistently . My ole reliable are the volkl RTM 174s and I’m just looking to get a new setup for an all mountain ski . I will be skiing groomers , but I will also be going off piste into some powder and trees . I hit Colorado about once or twice a year for a few days at a time. Let me know what skis I should consider looking at . I was looking at getting the Armada ARV 106’s in 180cm .

I feel like I haven't read enough about new skis the past two years to be able to give you specific ski model advice. Check out on3p, moment, and J skis too. If you're diligent, you can find them for cheap enough to fit your budget

The ARV 106s are super stiff, but apparently they are super great in soft snow. Check out the roof box review on it.

Do you ski when you’re not in CO?

Have you looked at blisterreview.com in particular their winter buyer's guide? I'm not sure if the new one is available but the past years are certainly.

180 is little short for someone your height, I’m only 5’11 and 200 pounds and wouldn’t ski that in anything except a 188 but yeah
