I need to buy a new ski for the resorts, and I need recommendations, in the 100-102 range. I’m a very aggressive skier and like to do it all and want a ski that I can take everywhere. I like to rip hard but also jib around, get some air and ride switch so double rocker is a must. I had my eyes set on the armada strangers but they aren’t going to be back in stock until late February so now I’m looking at armada declivity 102 and atomic maverick 100. Anyone have experience on these skis or have others in mind I’m missing??
i feel like my skiing style is pretty similar to that, i ride faction ct 2.0’s and love them, their durability has also come a long way. definitely recommend

on3p sounds a good fit for you either Jeffery or mangos

The stranger is super soft, definitely not a ski that will support aggressive skiing at all and the Maverick and declivity are both directional skis.. wildcat 101s, Jeff 102, and even the deathwish 104 would be far better options. And for a more directional option with a blunted twinned tail the Fischer 102 FR could even be on that list
The new 4FRNT Devastators are getting a lot of high marks this year since they made them lighter. They are basically flat bottomed so lots of slarving around and have a lot of twin/tail rocker for throwing around switch. They are 108 so a little wider than you may want but the 4FRNT Switch is a similar design at 99 underfoot. If you want a one ski quiver I would get the Devs though.
Didn't they go lighter back in 2020? Are these even lighter than the 20's? I wish they still made the 194.

the revolt 104 is 100% identical for 20/21 and 21/22, both ski and topsheet, they did this as an eco friendly gesture so people wouldnt "ohh gotto get that new topsheet or version" and to shops so they could have the carryover.
I know everyone makes jokes about the sego big horn but Is it actually good a ski. It seems like it would be but I’ve never ridden it or any of sego’s skis.
2x4s works well for me. The float might not be the best, but that way I can prove im the best skier on the........maing myself look like a fool........help they got no camber or rocker, but poppy.
