Thought I'd give this thread a bump mainly because we need more talk about ski season on CP.

Did anybody hear about the ski patrollers calling in sick at Sunshine? Apparently a bunch of management got fired over Christmas for no reason so the ski patrollers called in sick as protest. As a result there were only 3 chairs running - Strawberry, Wawa, Standish.
Based on what you're looking for Clareen -the S7 or Armada seems like the best fit. S7 seems to have a million rave reviews when you search the internet (considering a pair myself...torn between the Obsethed and S7, anybody have thoughts on the ObSETHed?).
And just to make your decision more difficult, have you checked out the Line Mothership (111mm I think) or Prophet 100s?
My brother has a pair of Lines and the one thing that he really raves about them is their playfulness.
