thats a good choice the only other skis thats kinda similar that id get is mabye the fujatives or stl's. except the t-halls have the rounded edges which would be sweet.

that's what i would have suggested for him. 5'6... 170 would be a reasonable size. ar5s, from what i hear, are crunk as fuck. i'm on 04/05 pes which are sick in pipe and booters, but rails..... ehhhhhh, not so much.


stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

so far as length goes 170 is good, people saying more than that for you are just blowin smoke up your ass about extra steez factor. dont get me wrogn huge skis look pimp but I also find its slows progression a bit. 170, if its just above your head should offer the steez, control, and stability you want (even at 170 you comprimise a bit of control at your height and weight, if you're an aggressive or adavnced rider i wouldnt worry about it at all though... if you're a beginner try something forehead height).
