Ski Search

NubsNobNoob · 01-12-07, 09:07 PM

I'm looking for a pair of All-Mountain skis that are park friendly. I really like Armada's line. I'm on a budget and was looking at the Armada El Rey. Then I thought it might be a better long term investment to get the Pipe Ceaner. I'm 6 feet and 155 and I don't know which length would be best for park. Obviously, the longer ones are better for all-mountain, but how much would I suffer in the park?
Any sort of help is appreciated.

Ive never ridden either, but i would say the line chronic or the line blend

Well, what do you think about the length?

it depends, do you do alot spins and grabs in the park or are you just interested in the air. if you like spins and stuff and just do all mountain when you dont feel like park, id go shorter, but if you just do straight airs, id go longer

Thanks, that helps. But now I just need to narrow down my search... My original interest was in the armada El Rey (171,178) , but the Pipe Cleaners had really good reviews and has the perfect length (176). I'm pretty open to suggestions, particularly rossignols, but I really think it's between the current two.
