Im 6’ 140lbs, I ski on the east coast, a lot of park but also normal runs and glades. I want something durable and versatile that i can hit rails, go fast and hit jumps. I was leaning towards armada arv 84 but wanted to get some advice since ive never bought skis before. Thanks
 
Moment frankenski. Triple camber which will do great on the east coast hard pack. Either length is available onsale atm so you’ll have your pick size wise and save a few bucks

98 underfoot which will give you anything you need conditions wise east coast.

you say park a lot which is exactly what the frankenski is made for. 50% and up park but will still slay everything else on the mountain east coast wise.

it’s a moment ski so it’s built near bombproof but they also stand behind their skis if something goes wrong

FREE mounting, wax, tune and repairs for the life of the ski.

ARV 84s mIght be a bit narrow if you’re over 120 lbs. The 96s would be a bit better for your scenario in my opinion.

Other than those, ON3P mango 90s are super good, as are the faction prodigy 2s. Surface givers are also great skis.

Just look for something 90-94 underfoot that isn’t a Moment, Gilson, Line, or Head

Thanks this helps a lot
 
Revolt 95 with attacks for a budget setup but poachers would probably be better

Oh man they might be my favorite ski I’ve ridden. Such a do it all, with park as it’s best performance. But that’s not to say it can’t hold its own outside of the park. The triple camber makes the ski feel so fast edge to edge and I love it in tight trees and on the mountain. Super snappy on rails and good swing weight. Don’t jump a ton but the pop is there
