New season's coming up quick

[jimmychung]

It's incredible that we'll be skiing within the next two months. I've had these same skis for three or four years now, so it's time for me to get something new. I ask for your help in my decision. I ski all mountain and park, and I'm definitely no park rat. I'd say I have a 4:3 all mountain to park ratio, so just a bit more time outside of the park than in. I've looked up this year's new stuff, and narrowed it down to either Armada AR6 or Line Chronic Blend. Both claim to be great all mountain skis as well as park. Which one?! And if you have other suggestions besides these two, please let me know. Thanks!

okay, what's your height and weight? what level of skier are you? and do you know if you like softer or stiffer skis?

 

[RJD2]

Salomon foil??

 

[jimmychung]

i'm 5'9", 165 lbs.

and i'd say i prefer stiffer skis.

 

[Kungris]

where do you ski? If you ski on the east coast ice than ar6 or just the regular chronic. If you ski in the west then the ar6 would be good unless you experience a lot of powder in which case you chose chronic blend

 

[thefilmerguy]

yeah where do you live and what terrain outside the park do you ski

Why the fuck do people keep recommending these pieces of shit? You're skiing down a groomer slow and they vibrate soo bad it feels like you're going down moguls at mach 10.

i live and ski in new england, and i like hitting glades and such. but of course i've got to love groomers as well.

 

[jimmychung]

oh and i am top level skier =)

 

[nickmcnutt]

volkl karma. but between those two, the ar6 looks decent for a do-it-all ski.

C H R O N I C B L E N D !

Karma, They're stiffer then either of those.

 

[jimmychung]

ok so now the karma seems to be in the mix. i'm widening my selection instead of narrowing it! i need more reviews. you don't need to specifically recommend one or the other, just weighing the pros and cons would be nice =)

 

[jimmychung]

buuump

 

[headmadtrix]

Werd

I'd Say Chronic Blends of the two

and mount center core which is like an inch behind dead center

 

[LineGhettoBlaster]

out of those 3 def not the ar6 if you like stiff skis i would go with the new karma

 

[SV_Freestyle]

Karmas are sick, good for anything except really deep and light powder, which from what I have heard is non-existant out east.

 

[jimmychung]

hahaha entirely true. only deep light pow i've seen was at j-hole.
