ok lets analise the skis,
arv's armamda's a company that act's like it's by the riders for the riders. yet the skis are made by Elan. hmm lieing to all of us. I don't think that anyone would buy a ski from a company that lied to them.
Seth Pistols, a decent ski with good deminsions, however they donot use a single piece of wood as the core, it's more of a particle board type material, so if there are imperfections they simply cut them out and replace it with glue. wow a wood/glue blend core, no good. Also it supposts chinese child labor, that may be a plus of a minus. However k2 as a company they are also sneaky fucks. They talk shit about skiers behind our backs, look at any k2 mountain bike ad's tehey say shit like 'in our spare time we make skis'
And then there are the motherships. Line does use a solid piece wood core. But they turn their backs on everything they try to stand for and start. But the new motherships do look pretty cool, and because I'm probably getting them I'm gona advise you not to go with the lines either, can't have too many of us out there on em' just doesn't look good.
