Armada ARW and K2 Missdemeanor

[meagan1788]

I'm buying new skis this year, and I can't decide between the Armada ARW and the K2 missdemeanor. Has anyone skied these? I ski the park, but I also like to ski the rest of the mountain too.

If you are below 6', I would go ARW!

 

[meagan1788]

Okay thats what I was thinking. I'm like 5'8, 130 lbs. But which size should I get? and how do the ARW's handle in pow ?

 

[dandoy]

Get the biggest they make it in.

Don't know how it handles in pow, but you're not huge so you should be able to float on.

 

[meagan1788]

170 is the biggest they make. I'm worried that that may be too big ? What are your thoughts?

 

[heavymetalwinner]

not if you 5'8. your the smae size as your skis. perfect forf riding anywhere. im sure they handle great in pow. just mount back a few from recommended.

mount them at recomended not behind recomended

serioulsy, 170 would NOT be too small. i'm 5'6" with 169 fujatives. since k2 measures running length, not actual length, thats actually like 174 and it works fine for me. then again, i don't know how good of a skier you are..

 

[meagan1788]

Well I'm a good all mountain skier, but new to the park. I think I will go with the 170's. So no one thinks that the missdemeanors would be better?

Fuck womens skis, seriously. I saw a girl on the new ARV's last weekend. It was pretty rad.
