Don't get STLs. Their flex pattern makes skiing out of the park a chore. It just feels wrong. Plus, they break easily. My advice would be Trouble Makers. They are amazing as an all-mountain ski and as a park ski (just don't hit rails with them 24/7.) I rode them for the last two years, and they are the best ski I've ridden to date.

Fujis chatter like crazy on hard pack. They're really unstable.

Thanks guys,
I know that demoing would be the best thing to do, the probl. is that here in italy is hard just to find a shop that has freestyle skiis!!
So I have to buy mine in Internet, (quite hard to have a good idea of what can be good or not)

Do u think that buying a shorter AR5 (176 or 170) would be a good deal?
What do u think?
