Need help real bad on a choice

[Leo.]

alright, I ski in wisconsin, but take trips several times a year. im about 5'9 175 pounds and ski about 50/50 park and all mountain. i want a fatter ski that can do it all. I've been looking at the arv but ive heard some bad things about them, or just armada in general. I have also been looking at ghettos and brigades, but will take suggestions. thanks in advance

ARV sounds like the ski for you. And i, along with many others, can personally attest to ARMADA's legit-ness.

ARV FTW!

 

[Leo.]

is it hard to find last years for less than 500?

 

[freeheelsSUCK]

did this post get deleted from yesterday? I would say the same thing i love the ARV's, where at in WI are you from?

 

[Leo.]

i ski at sunburst, but live near milwaukee.

 

[alaskakid]

Salomon Guns (soft) and Line blends (pretty stiff) and Volkl Bridges could work

 

[alaskakid]

And the foils. such a legit ski

 

[pDails]

ARV's. from personal experience the brigades will be too stiff especially in park

 

[CraigAK]

you should check out Ninthward Firstbloods

 

[Skipig25]

ARV's are dope, and Salomon Guns are also the shit, you have a lot of choices in the 90ish waist range.

also, for a little stiffer ski, Mojo 90

 

[buchanan.]

bridges are a stiff ski

 

[Sharko]

I was going to recommend Line Blends, but all the skis listed here would be good. They're all about a 90 waist, 125 tip if it helps.

 

[miroz]

anthem? maybe, idk

 

[Sharko]

probably not this if you're going 50/50

 

[BmEr]

Fischer Misfits

 

[Bodeau.]

I havent skiied them but seths may be good.

 

[shredtahoesteezy]

i agree with blondie anthems sound good....just mount em a lil back

 

[bikerocker]

scott punishers, I skied waist deep pow with them last week, and shredded some park. they kill groomers, and are pretty cheap. my shop sells them for 459. get some, you'll be stoked.

 

[KRAMPUSNTROLLZ]

ARVs if u are okay with your ski being a litltle stiff

 

[Jwalk]

Id say anthems or bridges or even PE's

 

[Sir.Pete]

bacon or lizzie as well.

 

[poofartpee]

ARV and Brigade are both solid skis

the ARV is softer and will be more playful and forgiving

The brigade will be less forgiving but reward u more performence wise

so toss up from there hope that helps!

 

[pDails]

o and, if you ahve the money get the guns over the brigades...the only reason i got brigades is because they go onsale more so i found them cheaper. guns is a more fun/responsive ski

 

[Leo.]

thanks a lottt. i think im gonna go with the 175 arv's

 

[pDails]

good choice. i actually wish i had gotten guns over my brigades, but i wanted arv's over guns. so i really just wanted arvs. but sick choice
