hey im 5'10"ish 145lb and thinkin about buyin skis for next year. questions:

first, would u recommend preordering on jibij or somethin, cause ive been reading around and seems like many people have already bought their skis for next year. will the prices rise or drop as we near ski season???

also, i was thinkin about the ar6, thall, invader, or mayb tm or somethin like that. i am about 90% park cause i ski east coast almost all year, and was just lookin for some input. also what would the best length be, obviously center mounted??? 170??? 176???

thanks any help would be appreciated

yo the invaders are sick with the butter zones, Im not a fan of the graphic of next years, im 5'8 and rock out a 171 anthem, next years line ski, its got the butter zones like the invader, just wider, a 175 tm and a 179 seth pistol, for me its all prefrence on size

hands down the thall, the such a amazing ski. Super good in the park, the got tons of pop, plus the nex one look amazing. Also Armada got rid of the factory rounded edge so there less urban/rail specific. Id deff say the thall
