My Armada dilemma, which skis?

[andyc_skis]

Basically I am looking for advice on which ski to get. I am looking at the AR6, ARV and JPvsJulien, but I am leaning towards the JPvsJ as I heard it copes well all over the mountain especially when the snow is hard. Price does not bother me as I get a discount at my local shop. Could you guys give me your opinions on the skis, also what is the flex like. Thankyou

who told u jp's cope well all over the mtn....esp when the snow is hard? theyre good esp when the snow is soft. Go with arvs or ar6....ar6s being much stiffer

ARV is probably going to be the most versatile, depends on where you are and what kind of conditions you'll be riding in though, the JP's are good for soft snow, the Ar6's will hold the best edge on hard pack, ARV's are somewhere in between.

salomon's, armada isn't as core.

Who ever told you that the JPs are the allmountian ski was full of it. They are a bc booter ski. Yes they can handle them selfs on groomers and some hardpack but they are deffinatly not ment for it. Id go with either the AR6 or the ARV, going with the AR6 if you like a stiffer ski

if you just ski all mountain , get the arv's. plus they're decent for park as well.

The pipecleaner is probably going to be the best allmountain ski Armada makes. I'd go with those or the Ar6.

word yo the arv is a noodle

 

[uni-corn]

Why you sticking strictly to armada?

 

[Kungris]

jp vs. juliens aren't meant as an all mountain ski. pipe cleaner or arv are the all mountain skis. Go with pc if your going to do hardpack, go with arv if your going to do softer conditions.

the volkl Karma is a sick all mountain ski and a sick park ski, and will hold up in soft or hard snow,just a great all around ski

[NWFlow]

Maybe they are the best deal through his shop.
