ski- 181 for sure
mount- core center if you ride 50/50 (or less) park/all mt, -2 or center if you ride primarily park
binding- z12, look px 12, rossi axial 12, or 4frnts but theyre expensive

yea i ski like 80 park and then 20 all mt, and i can only get salomons or 4frnts or markers but they suck, so i was thiking the ones i said because them seem like the best..and core center, wouldn't that take away value for all mt value??

true center (equal tip and tail) is what takes away from all mt but greatly improves switch. Core center is the center of the core and is where skis are normaly mounted. Core center on armadas is already pretty far fowards so you should be fine. And I would get z12's or 4frnts from those choices

how good are you? I'm 6 feet tall 175 lbs and I got the 181 ar6s. I ski out of the park a fair amount but most of the time out of the park I'm just fuckin around jibbin shit and skiing switch and all that goodness so I mounted at -2 from true center. If you are a somewhat advanced skier or a quickly progressing intermediat go 181. if you are still learnin and/or not very heavy 176 will be fine.
