171/176 ar6 sound great! My t-halls (176) are amazing. I weigh about 140, and i could have gone a little stiffer... But the 176 ar6 spounds your best bet. How tall are you?

if you can find em honestly, go for it. they rip the park i mean they are ninthwards...they rip the powder on east. they are not stiff but not soft. they hold up well on all east coast conditions from ice to metre of pow. overall a really sweet ski for you i guess i would go 170 on you not sure.

STLs are soft as fuck, and really light. AR6s are stiffer but not real stiff. They are also on the heavier side. Firstbloods are real light, poppy, and are sweet. Plus if u talk to Twintipnation u can prolly cop a deal. They have last years, since ninthward never sent this years. Tell them u heard about a kid getting a full setup with new salomon binders for around 400.
