The 2012 Armada AR7 Skis are one of the best Freestyle all mountain skis on the market. The 2012 Armada Skis are versatile in that they are are great in the park and pipe, yet unlike many other freestyle skis they have sidewall technology and a wider platform to allow for more All Mountain freeride use as well. They are playful yet energetic anywhere you take them and if you are looking for a park ski that you can take anywhere on the mountain you have to strongly consider the 2012 Armada AR7 Skis one of your top choices. This ski a ski that sold out quickly last year thanks to high reviews and even higher demand and I would expect the same for the 2012 model so don’t wait until they are sold out like they were last year.
2012 Line Sir Francis Bacon Shorty Junior Powder Ski Review
One of the favorite junior skis that is coming over for 2012 is the Line SFB Jr. Ski. With a 107mm waist the Bacon Shorty will float in the deepest of snow while dad wins too because now your young ripper can go skiing the same places as you with just as much ease. The ski does have Early Rise and Early Taper so you can easily ski all conditions from deep snow to groomers with ease. If you are looking to save some money then you can also look for last years Line EP Shorty as it is the same ski with different graphics. It is awesome how companies have stepped up to make skis for the youth who can now be free with out limits because of their equipment.
2012 Volkl Mantra Ski Review
The 2012 Volkl Mantra Skis had some major changes for this season and all for the better. Now with a wider more versatile waist width of 98mm and all new tip rocker the 2012 Volkl Mantra is now in the same categroy as the Line Prophet 98 skis as far as versatility. It was lacking a little bit in previous models and we preferred the non rockered Line Prophet 100 Skis over the previous editions of the Mantra. The newer Mantra however has very similar qualities shared with that of the Line Skis and for that I thank Volkl. The new Volkl Mantra Skis can go anywhere at anytime and with confidence even on the firm days in the Northeast. The Prophet 98 has a slight edge in turn radius so if it comes down to what you like for turns it is easy if you are more of a long turn kind of skier go with the Volkl Mantra and if you enjoy something that will turn slightly more quicker edge to edge and is a little more forgiving than the Mantra go with the Line Prophet 98 skis which will also be one of the top selling skis for 2012 when all is said and done.
