These skis are amazing in powder and have great edge hold for their width.

Would trade for Moment Wildcat 118, Black Ops 118, maybe other wide twin tips.

Make me offers

These are great skis for the right person. I'm only getting rid of because I have 196 Bodacious for supreme stability in pow, and I need a twin tip switch pow slayer. These fall right in between and are very versatile for their width.

Hmmm, any interest in a 189 DPS Koala 119?

Twin-tip charger.
One mount FKS for 307, 10 days on snow, fresh tune.
(Also one professionally repaired core shot, no core damage).

Where are you located?

I'm pretty much only interested in Wildcat 118s or Black Ops 118s for trade, I want a jibby ski, but the Koala 119 is intriguing I will admit.

Thanks for the interest, I'm going to pass on the Koalas. I'm actually looking for thinner twin tips I can daily drive, the Wildcat and BO118 are pushing it for me but already tried and true.

How's the stability of these compared to a BG? These have always been intriguing.

[Velomayniac]

I haven't tried any BG's since 2017 189s and 2X AEVSupergoats. DX are more like 108mm charger skis mixed with Billy Goats. They have a split personality. They are racey feeling and uber composed on firm snow, yet really surfy in soft snow.

They are all pretty close in terms of stability in soft snow, all are genuine powder chargers. The Declivity X are much, much more stable on firm/ice. DX are much more versatile and better for all mountain skiing.

Declivity X trades away some surfiness and pivotability to the BGs obviously, but once in soft snow you'd be surprised how little they give up to the BGs in trees. DX are great soft snow tree skis.

192 DX are more unwieldy in giant powder bumps than 189 BGs, more like the Supergoats, but this was as expected. Once the moguls firm up (less friction/resistance/hang ups) these 192 DX perform surprisingly well in all mountain bumps. In smaller powder bumps, these absolutely slay, DX just don't like half-VW-beetle sized powder bumps.

In terms of float in different powder types, I actually give the edge to the Declivity X over my last few Billy Goats.. It floats so well in drier snow too, and isn't that much worse in Sierra Cement compared to BGs. BGs do shine brighter than any ski ever in Sierra Cement, however the DX are the best floating 115mm skis I've ever skied for many different snow types.

All this positive stuff, why am I selling DX? I actually do prefer stock Billy Goats(and Wildcats) for their performance in cement and those giant powder moguls I was mentioning, which I ski a lot of on deeper days. I rarely ski untracked snow, where I do prefer the DX to these others. If I do know I'm going to be skiing untracked snow at Mammoth or something, I'll take my 196 Bodacious, which absolutely obliterate 2X Supergoats or DX for big mountain powder charging. DX are the best for all mountain out of all these skis mentioned, but I have significantly thinner all mountain skis which are ultimately much better for that.

So the DX lands in the realm of too versatile for me with a large quiver, but doesn't shine bright anywhere. I never end up keeping those types of skis, I need some shine somewhere and I'm ridiculously picky. They don't shine the way Billy Goats do in Sierra cement. They don't shine like the Wildcat 118s in terms of feeling like giant park skis in those deep powder moguls. They don't shine in terms of stability like my 196 Bodacious. They have a great mixture though.

I honestly think DX could be great skis for a lot of people, and I'm slightly surprised by the lack of popularity. I always wonder if Armada sells more DX or more ARG IIs.

These skis were designed in collaboration with Tof Henry, who recently passed away. RIP Tof Henry

Watch some of his videos, and it should give you an idea of what these skis can do.
