FOR SALE, 175cm ARMADA ARV

what ski have you got that is short but the fastest?
surely you must be skiing on the mission for it to have a short turn radius?

The fastest ski I have is the Stockli Stormrider AT, not found the top speed yet, I keep running out of smooth slope :lol: The Stockli has the biggest turn radius at 17.2

I don't have the Mission, instead I have the 172 Punisher, and they are good fun in most conditions it would seem :D
Of course I'm using mens skis, so that will be all wrong ) Oh and I'm probably undertall for the Punishers, too )

Bandit,
Are you really using men's skis? (Sorry Pablo - going off piste again).

I ordered men's skis to hire last holiday, because I thought if I'm a man's height, I do a man's work, I look like a man (people are always calling me 'Sir') then I ought to ski with men's skis. But they did look at me a bit funny in the hire shop :lol: And I never did find out whether the skis I got were meant for a man or a woman - but they were really good and went very fast.

Yes and no. I'm being a bit tongue in cheek there, because I don't own women specific skis, so if you accept what ise posted earlier...... ) All of my skis could be considered suitable for men and women, just like the Armada's that Pabs is selling. Some ski makers do make skis for women. Some even make good skis for women. These do tend to be at the top of the range though. Sadly most seem to take their softest shortest ski, put some flowers on the topsheet, offer a lightweight binding, and call it women specific. I did own a pair briefly, I was dazzled by the marketing bull. They were very flappy and subsequently were sold on ebay after less than 1 week's use :roll:

We might do if I knew how much you wanted for them, sales not your strong point ???? :shock: :shock:

SHHH Ian,
Didn't you know it's a secret? :lol:

I've been trying to get the price out of Pablo for about 4 pages but with no success as yet :roll:
