Ninthward, because I've tried ALMOST every brand and almost every twintip from each brand this year and the first blood 180 is my everything tool by choice and for a reason ... a lot of reasons actually.
armada cause my ar5s kick ass at everything, oakley cause my goggles have only fogged once, marmot cause they make some nice and warm shit,tecnica/dalbello cause their boots are sick and fit me weel
Rossignol, I still do and have always loved the way their skis feel, great bindings as well. Also one of the few boot companies(others; atomic, nordica) that actually fit me at all
my rossi scratches were the most reliable skis i had but i like the way my armadas ride better and my stupid made in china invaders just fell apart(was on drugs when i bought them)
