im 5 8 and 150 pounds and i need some new skis. I ride about 60% all mountain and 40% park. where i ride there are a few pow days and a few days of crap. so which skis would be right for me?

I'd say the new Troublemakers in a 175. Great for all mountain, groomers etc and still fantastic in the spark. Foils and scratches would also probably be good bets.

armada ar6 in 176. stiffer than the trubs, a little wider for better all mountain stability, yet amazing in the park. and cheaper, i think?

personally I'd recommend the foils for someone his size, their light and snappy and have a nice sidecut for carving off the lip. Generally they have stats equivelant to a directional all mountain ski only with a twin tip and more symmetrical flex pattern and obviously set for a centermount.... If price is an issue, simply get last years models...and go for the 176, charge hard.
