All of these cost the same on getboards, which would be my best choice if i wanna use them for all mountain, trees, bumps, pow. I weigh 165 and i ski really hard.
 
ive also never skied on a fat ski before, 185 seems huge. im using 165 troublemakers right now and those are great. I ski in maine so there isnt constant deep pow, im gonna be mostly using them for moguls/trees, but i want them to work great when it does snow.
 
ive decided on the armada's, the rossi's are gonna be too wide i think and im just prejudiced against salomons for some reason. Armada's look cooler too. as for size im pretty sure on the 175, the 185's just scare me, i don't think i could handle a 20 mm jump in length. let me know what you guys think.
 
Unless you suck at skiing you will be able to handle 185s, they aren't too long. You will get used to them after a week. And fat skis aren't hard to ski.
 
first of all, if you ski maine, you don't want more than 85 underfoot. second of all, if you are 5'6", and ski trees, you don't want anything over 175 at the max. and don't detune your edges, cause that's for parkrats, and won't help you worth shit on the maine ice
 
i think ive solved the dispute between these three, but now ive entered another raging internal conflict. Carry this discussion over to "Armada ARV's vs. 05 Scratch BC's"
 
no im like 5'6.5'' and between 160 and 165. you got a problem with my size? and just for the record im not a fat kid.
