AR5's vs. Foils

Heres the deal, I can get some last years unused 170 Armada AR5s with rossi scratch bindings or some new Salomon Foils any size with solamon bindings for about the same price. Im gonna be doing park during the weekdays and powder on the weekends. I'm torn because i think the AR5s might be a little too short and they might be too narrow for powder (i think they have a 79mm waist, correct if wrong.) So price besides, do you think the AR5s are not the right size? im 5'11'' and 180 lbs.

ok first off, im only 145 and about 5'9"/10" and im on scratch fs 168s, so i think that the 170s will be to short for you. i would def. go with the foil since it has a 87mm waist in the 177 version (i believe that is correct). and since they are the sam price i woud get the foil hands down.

Yeah, if thats all you can get, get the foils. But if you can get some 176 or 180 ar5s get them instead, because they rock in pow also.

AR5s are great in pow, but if they are too small they may not be so hot. id get the foils just cause they are the right size if u could get the AR5s ion the correct size id say get those

So if i got the foils, do you think the 174's or the 182's would do. I kind of want to be able to get through tress and stuff. Once agian im 5'11" and 180lbs

definitely 182s man. You want the better control and stability of a longer ski at your height and weight. If you got the 174 you would be dying for a longer ski the first day you rode them

dude, go with some salomon 720's in a 196 if you can find them. or maybe you could cut up an old styrofoam surfboard and glue your shoes on them #Wigga#. I wpould probabaly just ride a saucer if those two were my only options.

yeah, at least those have steez, i'm looking at your 159 snowblades, and wondering what the fuck you have to say to that. And honestly, who is proud of a pair of fischer racing skiis from like 1986 that are 160s. You have a short penis to boot.

you say that becasue you are a fucking snowblader, I'm pretty sure that the only compensation I would need to have with you is to make up for the fact that I'm not a dork and you are you pussy. Learn how to do something other than snowplow. the only thing you can ski is a staircase.

If you werent dyslexic, you would know that i said i didnt have the abilities, a fine fox of a woman did. I'm pretty sure everyone at newschoolers is getting pissed off about using the newschooler forum to rip on each other, when really we are in the same room as each other 10 feet away. I will be the mature one and stop this. If you would likw to grow up you can follow suit.

let everyone know russell has ben caught fingering his ass-hole, and there is a tube of petroleum jelly next to his bed. What is that for? I'll tell you, its cause that fucker takes it up the ass. He also likes short skis, and rarley uses poles, except with snow blades.

that fucking helmet is peach, or maybe tangerine, and your homo goggles don't even fit with it, on top of that you think foam skis are cool. Hey, and honestly, who gets shot down by at least 4 girls in a row? you are bringing the average for our room waaaay down.

I think that the ar5s are probably the better ski but they're right if you can only get them in 170s thats too short
