yea I have a set of 185s mounted at -5, and 175s mounted at -2 for park. Love them, but they have delaminated between the bottom glass and sidewall underfoot. Soft and light, radius is perfect, rocker is real fun. I have some magnus 90s I ride if I'm just riding park but it's nice to have JJs everywhere else. I'll buy another pair when the 175s finally die.

current armadas seem to be doing this, do you have pivots?

I have skiied them in the park and they're not bad, but I like narrower skis way better in the park. I find the ARV116 is a great playful all mountain ski when there's some soft snow.

Pow skis in the park is nothing new. Pep and Mahre rode Hellbents as park skis, and I know guys who ski One Lifes and New Lifes as dedicated park skis as well.
