AR5's, they're a good semi soft ski, I'm not sure how durable they are though.

The new ar5's have stiffened up alot. Maybe STL's if you want something softer ,they're comparable to the TMs.

ya ya well i looked at the demensions and everythingg and stls are only a 78 in the 167s which i wanted somethin like a 85..so the scratch fs's are still looking nice for me..but do u think the thc core will last like 8-9 months which is like 2 years for me?

dont not buy a ski if it is good for you, but you dont like the color. unless you can find somthing just as good for you with better graphics

my bcs are around 100 days with one edge crack and one core shot, they are soft, but not noodles or sponges, they still spring and I love em. The armada is too stiff for me, except the 02/03 ar5 was fun.

ya well this years the tail is actually pretty soft..and ur bcs are probably last years which are a wood core..the new fs's,bc's have thc cores and the sprayers of them have wood.

i know..1260s are a little bit to soft for my liking tho i want something alittle bit stiff and wider to handle some decent powder..so the fs's see right for me but im worried about the thc core

BC's have always had thc core. If you can find some of last years Bc's or Fs's in a 174 or I think you would love them. This years BC's and Fs are gonna be to stiff for what you are looking for though dude. I have them and, they are very stiff compared to most twintips.

this thread is pointless you too undecided. "I want skis just like the 1260's", "The 1260's were two soft", "the graphics are ugly"... your best bet would be to try out a few pairs. theres some good advice on NS, but you gotta see whats right for you.
