I just moved here from Tahoe two months ago. What a welcome place... This is amazing.

Wow. I didn't know it was exactly the same ski. You must have some kind of inside track or something. Good call.

Armada ARVw next year. Dimensionally and structurally similar to the ARVw. It didn't feel softer, but I didn't ski it. It'll be a 165 if I remember correctly. Might be up your alley.

Hey guys, I just moved up to Washington. I've been doing the camping thing when I head toward Hood/Bachelor and it's definitely the cheapest option. Things are still kinda rainy right now, so it's not the best Even the locals here don't like to camp in adverse weather, so you can almost always...

Don't write off the El Rey. That ski is stiffer than any of them and wider than the AR6. Don't be afraid of the cap - Armada does not sell shitty product. I spent a lot of time on El Reys last year. They bite into ice incredibly well and they're fantastic all-mountain skis. Plus you can get into...

Nice to see Squaw finally getting the respect it deserves. I've never had a bad day at Squaw - never. That's more than I can say for any other place I've spent a lot of time at. There is just so much to do there - not to mention a free hot tub at the top. Squaw has put so much ass into their...

Done Scotto. Best damn fine photographer - period!

Well I did my last day in Tahoe there today. The warm weather had was the only thing keeping things limited. There is sooooo much going on right now. Can't do anything about that. I'd say they're going out like a lion.

nope. Depends what skiing means to you.

The last six seasons in Tahoe have been amazing. We all know the snow, terrain and SUN make things inherently amazing here. It's the people who really make this place though. Any given day you can meet up w/ a ton of others just 'shredding.' You don't even have to know anyone - but that doesn't...

Wow! This thread got interesting quickly. Well, I'll be there tomorrow to get my last turns living in Tahoe. Kind of a bummer to hear this about Boreal. I know a lot of effort was made by a lot of people, including myself, in the beginning of the season to set this one up as the best yet. Just...

^^Sorta. You really have to see it in person. It's got a lot of the same ideas going on though.

^^^And on the tuning bench. And no, it's not in the catalog. I'm not sure what the ordering process is going to be, but the ski will indeed be super limited. Immediate feedback from Tanner says the ski performs outstanding. From what I gather, it's a specific blend of several materials...

I've had three years of ARVs and they're about the most versatile ski out there. Super stable all over the place. They actually have a decent amount of sidecut but still wide enough waist for ec pow. Either that or get the Fleet (El Ray) and use tough, cheap and old binders for everyday...

I was up at Soldiers last week to do some updating. Nothing was really going off. This week should be a totally different story. Jimmy and everyone swear the features will be going off! Should def get the soldiers thing cause there isn't much good park outside of it.

Long live the longest, and arguably best, thread in NS.com history.

And don't forget taxes!

Bwahahahaha! Ooooh, oooooh, oooh - my turn! What's the easiest way to lose a quarter of a milion dollars? Start a ski company! Truth is, there is no money in the ski industry. My advice - get a real job. I don't know anyone making 'good money' working around this industry. Stories pay like...

Thank you for posting that. KC, you fucking charged that whole time. Love the lipslide.

Thanks man. It's early Thurs morning and there's a convenient heavy snow warning for Hood in time for my trip. Wanna come?
