Armada ARV or ON3P Kartel?

[DikWipe69]

I am 5’7 and 120 pounds and an expert skier. I have narrowed down my choices for all mountain/powder freestyle skis to 2. I’m just wondering which one y’all would recommend. Thanks. Also recommendations for bindings would be sick

If you're on a budget get ARVs with attack 13s, if you gots money Kartel and pivots?

Ok sweet thanks! I’m not exactly bill gates so the ARVs will do

Kartels fo sho. I have magnuses (softer and skinnier than the Kartels) and those things run like a damn tank down everything, id imagine the Kartels would be even better

Was debating between these two skis as well, but for different purposes. I did a shit ton of research into both and they're fairly similar with the downfall on ARVs being durability.I hit rails almost exclusively so I need something bombproof, (I'm getting Magnus') but I'm sure for all mountain/pow the ARVs will hold up just fine.

This. Like I said I'm sure the ARVs will serve your purpose just fine, but if you have the money I'd go for kartels. You're paying not only for high quality and durability, but also for something where you know where it came from & who made it. ON3P more or less started on Newschoolers quite some years ago so you'd be supporting "one of us" and an American company.

Look at iggyskier's old threads and it'll explain it all. If you can't afford them upfront either they have financing.

*get the kartels you won't regret it*
