Ok everyone on here is opinionated, so give them to me (your opinions...) ARWs or Missdemeanors?? I can't decide which ones to get...

I'm 5'7, 125-130 lbs, I am currently on a 155 TM's, I like them but they are kinda short so I want something a bit longer. The ARWs only come in 160 and 170, and I think the 160's are maybe to short(??) and 170s too long(??) (maybe I'm just a pussy??) And the MD's come in a 164 which I think would work well, but I honestly have no idea...so please help. ALSO is $485 CDN w/ bindings a good deal for the MDs?

arw / missdemeanor would be fine for groomers/park, but they have a not so girthy waist, which means they won't float at all in the pow. they are probably 80 or less.

wow you're exactly like me. haha. i just went and bought the 166 pollard pros. they are a little shorter then me, but i think i'll be fine. i switched from 155 TMs too. if you want shorter skis go for 160, if you dont mind them being a little bigger, go for 165+ i think you'll be fine

i was thinking the ARWs but i guess they are just heavy at the moment, not really girl specific skis. just AR5s with different graphics. the mds seem pretty sick but whatever. if you want girl specific go for the mds

roll with the arw, bigger is better, it may be a little harder, but what is 10 cm going to effect you if your as tall as you are.

won't float at all? that's a bold statement...somebody is forgetting that a powder ski 10 years ago is a 65mm underfoot 210cm long ski. misdemeanors= last years public enemy...they're server you real good, ma'am

191 for downhill?? My downhills were 205... But I would go with the MDs in like the 169... thats what Im riding and Im 5'5", 115-120 lbs... If you can stand the longer ski go with it... In my opinion, 164 is basically a SL ski... and I hate short skis. But it all boils down to your personal preference and comfort zone.

if you only go out west 2-3 times a year you can just rent skis if there is any powder and then buy a specialised park ski for back home.

Haha, yeah thats actually ture. If you can buck up and ski the guys ski then do it... I love my PE's and Madens... but the MDs are just right if Im feeling the need for a little bit more flex.

170's sound like they would be perfect, right up to the top of your head.

you know, for park only, you can ride some 1980' skis and adding a twin tip that's just the same ... i mean, in park you're in the air, so the shittiest ski can do it. if you do big mountain and pist too, it's different ...
