Don't worry about the width man, they rock on the groomers! Pretty much my favorite ski when i did a demo when it was a hard pack day. And I weigh about 180, real soft and playful but they dig trenches when you need them to. And there's no change from last year to this year.

Like said above man there shouldn't be any problems at all with mixing and matching brands on boots and bindings. If your boots are still salvageable you should go into a good shop and have the bindings looked at and adjusted. Make sure you tell them to test your binding at your preferred din...

I've skied both and own 08 AR6's. When i tested them the Pipe cleaners felt really "grippy" when i was carving on them meaning they wouldn't let me out of turns as easily as I wanted. This could have been the tunes fault but I ski in Colorado and wanted a playful ski for occasional park and all...

K2 is owned now by Jarden Corp. which is the parent company for Coleman and Marmot. They also own some fishing company which k2 uses for their pole technologies. As far as Armada they as previously mentioned are not owned by Lib Tech or have any real affiliation but when speaking with a Armada...

I would never recommend getting a boot without trying it on 1st! Seriously go to a shop and get some professional help, you're going to need to find a shop to mold your liners anyways and then they won't charge you the 50-60 buck to mold them.

Yeah, Armada like 2 yrs ago started having the atomic factory make their skis. That is all but their new cap construction skis (el ray) which I think is made in the fischer factory. So Atomic in no way owns armada, they just let them run their molds through their machines.

I am in the same predicament man. I want a ridiculous fat ski for next year and can't decide. Right now I'm leaning towards the JJ's because they are 115 under foot for next year and seem like that happy medium with more traditional camber and sidecut than the ARG. At the same time the EP...

The Mothership is coming in two sizes next year and they are both pretty darn big: 185 and 195. It will be something like 111 under foot with 2 sheets of metal, a symmetrical flex, and a touch of early rise. Sounds like a stiff big mountain ski. I'll see if i can get on them at demo tomorrow if...

Hey, we just got in the 09 il-moros into my shop I'll see if I can grab a picture but they look the exact same except the bottom cuff is now gold and they have a chain on the back of the boot. I guess they are going for the whole bling thing, shouldn't be too hard to find a picture cause they...

That ski is sooo sexy... ahhhh, i just wanted to give this thread a bump so more people could take a look at it...

I have last years seths and personally love them on hardpack but I'm in Colorado so we don't exactly get as icy as you east coasters do. Either the ARV or the Blend would be a better choice for the East I've skied both and enjoyed the ARV more. The blend will give you better edge grip on...

yeah, man just go recomended or maybe a cm forward of that. I think those elrays rec. is about -5cm from core center which would be perfect for an allmountain mount. If you're gonna go to the park more maybe a cm or two up...

I would go with AR6's, I skied this years t-hall a couple of weeks ago and I own a pair of 176 AR6's from this year and there really wasn't that much of a difference between the two. The t-hall wasn't as soft as I expected it to be so it really didn't feel that much different than my ar6's...

Get the Lizzy man!! I skied this years at a demo two weeks ago and the thing rips so much!! They are soft but that's what you're looking for in a jib/powder ski. The day was really hardpack for colorado but they still held an edge. Super stable on the couple of rails they had set up and ski...

I skied the bridge and ARV last spring and thought they skied very similar. The Bridge felt really damp. It skied well but didn't really have a whole lot of excitement to them. The ARV skied similar but just had a lot more life to them! It was mine and my other buddy's all mountain twin of the...
