What fat twin would u recomend most fore me. I am 5,10 & 150lbs. I want a ski fat enough for powder but one that can also handle the gromers and park in the days inbeatwean storms. I was thinking either the Mad Trix Mojo, Volkl Gotma or the Armada ARV. I am leaning towrds either the Gotma or Mojo right now becuase i really like stiff skis witch from what i know both of these skis are but would the ARV be better for those betwean storm days? I was also sortof hesitent asbout armadas construction and woried about weather they will fall apart on me.

 
hey, I have ARV's and they are awesome. Great in pow, but they also kill the park and all mountain. They are kind of soft, but that helps them be more versatile and they still feel stable at speed. Don't worry about construction. Armada really stepped up this winter and it is a completely different ski from last years ie: new sidewall and topsheet material for added durability. The only problem is they seem to have thin bases, my friend was riding his in BC last week and clipped a couple rocks getting two core shots, but that would probably happen with any ski.

I think the Gotama is a beefier ski, but from what I've heard it's not as versatile.

the mad trix because they are supper strong and stiff which i hear gives u mad pop on jumps too, and still float on the pow, not to mention the graphics are sick, look on ebay for deals i just bought a pair for 330 brand new.

Step it up
 
freeskinow is correct. buy a ski based solely on its graphics. its what all the gapers are doin. just kidding. pisses me off when some douche like that who is rich buys the most expensive skis b/c they look cool. have you considered the 4FRNT MSPs? they are really good for everything.

The reason I want to stay away from skis the MSP and skogen sprang, but more the Sprang, is becuase they seam like park skis that can do powder but but what I nead is a powder ski that can handle the park.

 
MOJO! trust me youll love them

Moving to BC really opened up my eyes to what skiing is really about. HINT: Skiing isn't about tiny verticals, shit talking, and private clubs galore.

Ok I think Im going with the Mojos but what size should I get? 186 is about an inch over head hight but since I way only around 150 should I go with the 176? If it helps I am a very agresive skier and I am still growing so by the end of the year i should be up to around 160- 170lbs. On another note i am very upset that this years Mojos no longer have the neon pink bases!

 
damn, it seems like you're right between sizes. if you have a chance to demo them, demo both sizes and go from there. if not, i would say go w/ the 186 if you feel like you're still growing. i have the 186's, and i'm 6 2 and 175lbs, and they fit me very well.

I HATE skis that are two short. Not only do you look like a fag that is still doing the pizza wedge skiing with short skiis is just plain shitty two.

 
whoever said the graphics on the pistols are pimp, im offended, and i think seht would be too, those were intended to be the furthest thing from pimp

 
Get the Made'Ns because they are light as hell and they're sick and durable and they're also good on groomed...just make sure you center-mount em.
