Advice on finishing my Quiver

I know this is early for next year but I'm trying to budget everything.

I'm hitting up America next season, it's either going to be PNW, Tahoe or Colorado...

My skis:

176 Armada THall (buttery park)

181 Moment Reno Jibs (Jump and all mountain)

191 Armada ANT (Big line charger and Crudbuster)

...

So I'm looking for something wider than the ANTs I reckon, something more forgiving and playful yet still light. Probably Rocker too?

Have considered Hellbents and the Josh Bibby.

Drop some opinions on me.
 
Wow, you must have a lot of budget to play with. Most people build up quivers over time, lol.

I was gonna suggest the Donner Partys or Amplid Cholesterones (get the rockered ones). They're both huuggee and rockered

Or get something reeeallly soft. Like EP pros
 
JJs mebbe? they arent wider than the ants but pretty playfull. and light as fuuuuuck. hellbents. eps but they might be toooo soft. args?

 
I skied Hellbents last week for the first time and I totally didn't dig them. I only found them good for making switch powder ridiculously easy. That said, most guys I was with loved them.

I'd look at Bacons or EPs.
 
I wouldnt get reno jibs and thalls. Kind of an overlap there. Id pick one of those and then get something in the 95-100 range underfoot. You will actually have so much more fun on a ski this size for "All mtn and jumps" I bought seths last year thinkning i would use my ar6s everyday and then those when there was new snow. I ended up skiing my seths basicly everyday. Big skis are just more fun. And then for your third ski get something fat and rockered. Check out the moment bibbys, praxis (dope company wiht preorder prices if u order now), rossignol s7, something along those lines. IMO that would be a much more fun quiver than spending the money on 2 park skis
 
Yeah I have THalls but I was dropping the money for the Jibs at Jibij this week...

Maybe I should hold off. But the thing for me is, I will ski the ANTs when I want something a little wider, I really love that ski everywhere and being an ex.racer I love a narrow Piste charging ski and the Jib seems to fit as it's fairly stiff too. I had considered the ARV too but it's too soft, also the Seth but i rode the 05/06model all season and didn't like it, I don't know why I think it just felt slugish...

I really don't know about the bent, initially I was like yeah, then I started thinking about about weight and width and my previosu experience with K2, I really don't know if I want it now.

Anyway, I completely forgot I'm 6ft, 73kilos and I'd say a pretty strong skier, so i want something opposite to the ANT, soft and fun. More of a booter ski. Maybe the EP Pro but I think it may be too soft?

What you reckon about the:

Bibby?

Bentchetler (this year or next?)

JJ (not many people have ridden)

Volkl Chopstick?
 
This has been built up over time man, 3years of hard work...

I've been looking at Praxxis too, they're sweet. Also, what happened to iggyskier (maybe) and on3p?
 
I dont think youll like the EP pros..Theyre too soft IMO..

Id check out moment rubies/bibby, rossi s7, praxis, and if you have $$$ to spend pm gear brockers...

maybe a on3p could work for you too.
 
as ill as they sound (symetrical pow ski), pretty much everybody who has skied them has hated them sooo at least hold off until you can get some reviews on them
 
Alrite,So I'm kinda thinking either:

Moment Bibby Pro,

Moment Donner Party,

Armada JJ,

Rossi S7.

What you reckon, the moments are cheap as so I'm tempted by either of them.
 
Apparently I won't like the EP, as it's really soft and I'm quite a strong skier.

And the ARG? Isn't it a fairly stiff big line ski? I could be wrong
 
I'm kind of in the same situation, ive got,

07 Ar6's 176

07 Seths 179

I'm heading back to whistler (getting rid of old seths) and looking for a fun pow ski (thinkg EP Pro's or Hellbents) and also a ski for bigger lines and crud (thinking 09 JJ's, they look interesting) or maybe even the new seths
 
For bigger lines and crud you don't really want to think about the JJ from what I've heard, quite soft, a lot more playful, big line then look at the ARG, ANT, Seth, Praxxis, LPXXL and stiffer skis along those lines
 
Buttsecks used jjs the whole time he was in montana, in chopped up shit. they are playful but damp enough
 
Talk to me goose....
