i am skiing minnesota, basicly 100% park.. which is the best ski? I am worried about how narrow the stl is but like how light it is. I like the t-hall but nobody ever mentions it, why? and i am concerned the ar6 may be too heavy. for 100% park what is best?

The volkl walls are a good option for you. They are very durable, symmetrical, and have an 87 waist. They are very nice skis, especially for all park. They aren't that heavy, and are a good stiness for ollies.

t-halls seem like a nice ski for u, 100% park, cant go wrong with a fun ski like that. Id recommend a 171 in size for u.

hmmm id say scrap the ar6 since u can do better with a park specific ski, look at the addict, anthem, or maybe thrusters or the ghetto

as for the skis out of ur picks id say STL but only by what I know from reviews by other people...(i havent rode the t-hall or STL before)

ok in order of softness
t-hall
AR6
STL

but the STL will hold up best, keep it's pop and be super strong, I really like all three

If youre going to be doing lots of jibs in the park, the THALL is going to kill, although, they are specific, so perhaps try before you buy?

The AR6's are more all mountain jibby, so they would kill it in the jumps, but i dont know how much of that you have in MN.

the STL's are going to be very similar to the AR6's with a smaller footprint.


Nevertheless, all 3 are going to slay in the park.
