I'm in the market for a pipe ski (really looking into the Armada Pipe Cleaners). I was hoping I could get some reviews on a few different models; How they rode in the pipe, the park, all mountain, etc.

Not new to the pipe, but definitely new to pipe specific skis.

+K and much appreciated!
 
I bought the pipe cleaners and they are a great everything ski. I ski mostly park, little bit of pipe and charge droplets and even use them in the powder a little bit. You will here alot of people saying that the race base requires alot of maintenance but I have only waxed mine 2 times in te past year and the base have help up fine. No delam in the tip and no edge cracks.

I love mine
 
This is to stickerman (won't let me quote for some reason): Awesome thanks! I have the ARW's and they have the race base so not worried about that... in fact I would rather have them (shit ton faster than non-race bases.)

How would you compare them to other park skis you have ridden in the pipe? (I'm debating whether it's worth it to invest in a pipe specific ski or stick with my Suspects for the pipe.)
 
I've heard good things about the ace of spades. i've never seen a pipe myself, but we can't all live down the road from breck now can we? haha
 
i notice a huge difference with the bite i get out of the skis when i carve up the walls of the pipe. i also hit rails on the pipecleaners, so my edges arn't exactly the sharpest. my pipecleaners are also lighter then my current rail/jump ski, so i can boost alot higher then normal.
