All mountain ripper recommendations

[Cbwilks]

I need to buy a new ski for the resorts, and I need recommendations, in the 100-102 range. I’m a very aggressive skier and like to do it all and want a ski that I can take everywhere. I like to rip hard but also jib around, get some air and ride switch so double rocker is a must. I had my eyes set on the armada strangers but they aren’t going to be back in stock until late February so now I’m looking at armada declivity 102 and atomic maverick 100. Anyone have experience on these skis or have others in mind I’m missing??

i feel like my skiing style is pretty similar to that, i ride faction ct 2.0’s and love them, their durability has also come a long way. definitely recommend

Neither of those skis. Go to blisterreviews and go through the buyers guide.

The stranger is super soft, definitely not a ski that will support aggressive skiing at all and the Maverick and declivity are both directional skis.. wildcat 101s, Jeff 102, and even the deathwish 104 would be far better options. And for a more directional option with a blunted twinned tail the Fischer 102 FR could even be on that list

[anders_a]

never ever ever heard anyone describe bent chetler 120 as "stiffer"

 

[Cbwilks]

Thanks for all the recs. Now I'm looking at the volkl revolt 104s

 

[anders_a]

revolt 104s are sexy with both jester 18 ID pro, and also gold pivots

The new 4FRNT Devastators are getting a lot of high marks this year since they made them lighter. They are basically flat bottomed so lots of slarving around and have a lot of twin/tail rocker for throwing around switch. They are 108 so a little wider than you may want but the 4FRNT Switch is a similar design at 99 underfoot. If you want a one ski quiver I would get the Devs though.

 

[Chunderface]

Didn't they go lighter back in 2020? Are these even lighter than the 20's? I wish they still made the 194.

jeff 102 would be the all-around option because it can rip groomers and still be able to jib and rock the powder. If you want a more rigid all-mountain ski i recommend Atomic Bentchetler 120 which is more afordable then Jeff 102 but alot stiffer.

dude what?

Nah your right, it was back in 2020 they did the redesign. Its just the topsheet that is different this year.

 

[anders_a]

2019 was last fullweight devastator,

2020 was same ski lighter layup

2021 they made it for children and cut long lengths & changed it

2022 same

 

[Cbwilks]

Does anybody know if there’s a difference between 2020/2021 and 21/22 revolt 104?

 

[anders_a]

the revolt 104 is 100% identical for 20/21 and 21/22, both ski and topsheet, they did this as an eco friendly gesture so people wouldnt "ohh gotto get that new topsheet or version" and to shops so they could have the carryover.

Same for revolt 95 and 121 as well.

I know everyone makes jokes about the sego big horn but Is it actually good a ski. It seems like it would be but I’ve never ridden it or any of sego’s skis.

2x4s works well for me. The float might not be the best, but that way I can prove im the best skier on the........maing myself look like a fool........help they got no camber or rocker, but poppy.
