I know this is probably a repetitive thread but im going to need a new one ski quiver once my skis with a cracked edge fall apart. Whats an actual good choice for doing it all? Priorities in order bigmountain/sidehits>park>carving>powder

I heard armadas are extra durable for rails?



Are bent 100’s really worth all the hype?

any reccomendations appreciated

Bent 110 is astronomically better than bent 100

Gonna throw out an obscure Zag Slap consideration. I haven’t skied them, but the Harfangs are my current all-around favorite ski so I think I the Slaps are worth looking at.

I would recommend demoing some skis that you are interested in to see what you like.

Nope, I find them too hooky in the tail and too directional. For carving and groomers they are a great ski but that's about it. If you are looking at bents go for the 110. Fantastic ski, light swing weight yet it has a bit more meat to it than even the 120. Hard to describe. If you want a real meat stick the sender free 110 are a good option. For something a bit more directional it's hard to go wrong with some rustler 10 or 11's. (edit: demo stuff to see what you like. If you are in Nevada or close to incline village it's worth trying some praxis stuff. Like an mvp 108 or Jedi mind stick.)

Sounds like you’d mess with arv 94/100s. Very durable as well

Nobody wants to hear this and it’s so annoying!! I was blown away by the Slap at demo day last year, and my shop was just not hearing me out. They’ll see, they’ll all see lol ZAGG Chamonix kicks ass

Moment Wildcat 108 with your priorities. 101 if you plan to do more than 30% park.

Arv106 if you want to ski fast with stiff and heavy ski, arv100 if you want a park oriented noodle, arv94 if if you want a bit stiffer park ski

Our Pioneer could suit you, talk to @BradFiAusNzCoCa about a demo, he's based in Denver

I ride Dynastar m-free 99s on the daily. I know some people don’t like them but I think they are good for mainly freeride with some park on the side. They do have some pretty crazy tail rocker for my needs tho.
