2015 ARV Ti replacement?

First post, hi, hello.

I’m looking for a replacement for my 2015 Armada ARV Ti, but struggling to dig something out of the billion skis and web pages out there. Been out of the loop since I don’t work in shops any more.

I love the 98 underfoot, and the dampness of two sheets of titanal, and I want a ski that does the same things. Main criteria is 65mph through foot deep slush ruts or other crud, and feels like they’re on rails.

Weight is not a factor (obviously), and I’d really like to stay under 100 underfoot.

This is not a one quiver ski, looking for a direct replacement as the other 8 pair are just fine.

Appreciate any recommendations you all can point me at, thanks. Shred on!

Moment deathwish 104 skis more like a 98

Moment wildcat 101 it is a touch over but solid ski

These are all terrible skis for what he wants, the wrenegade from ON3P (I think they did the last run of them ever recently) and the comander from moment fit the bill better from both companies.

yeah a wren or commander would be good fits.

Praxis freerides are a little fat but could work.

stockli stormriders have been lightened up over the years, but would still be a good choice.

if you can find some older armada invictus Ti's they would be good. I have the 108s and they are bullets.

You might like the Rossi Blackops 98, it feels really damp and was lots of fun to ride

Take a look at the J Skis Fastforward or the Masterblaster. Both could be great options
