Super Solid

By Steve Summers Ranked #97 - Alpine Park and Pipe Skis March 17, 2009

I picked up the AR6 this season because I was just starting out in park, though I was already a pretty good skier and wanted something that would be able to carve groomers without sketching out and still slay the park. The AR6 is an amazing ski, it has a very nice flex that is soft for butters and rail slaying but is very stable at high speed on groomers. The bases are fast and very tough, I beat them up on rails and boxes but they hardly have any scratches. The edges are also super strong and have held up very well to the punishment I dish out on them. These skis kill it just about everywhere though the mid-80 mm waist doesn't offer too much flotation they still are ok for the east coast pow that I get in Quebec. My only complaint was that the topsheets chip really easy but when I'm bailing in the park and on urban rails pretty much any ski will chip up like that and its purely an aesthetic issue anyways. An awesome ski for jibbing the park and buttering all over the mountain! Love 'em Armada
