Alright so Im 5'8" aroung 125lbs (yeah im fuckin light) and ive been looking at this years punx and Ar6s as well as last years JO PROs for next year. Im planning on skiing pretty much everything but powder...i live in quebec we dont exactly get much and plenty of park i just wanted to hear what people feel about these skis. Ive picked these ones because ive heard good things about them and they seem to fit my price range I also would like to know if you could reccommend a size cuz i dno whether i should go with a higher 160 or a lower 170.
Thanks, Steve

I have ridden both the Atomic Punx and the Armada AR6 and think they are the top 2 park skis on the market. If you are interested in a softer ski go with the Punx. The AR6 are a bit stiffer, they are very light and have a ton of kick. Both have very strong control on jumps and rails, but the Punx are primarily park and the AR6 are perfect for park, but will still have fun out of it.

thanks guys im just a bit worried that the park skis may be less than stellar on groomers and semi off piste (not pow) so if im going like 50 all mountain 50 park which would be better (maybe rank em 1-4)

Ive found punx a little dead, although fun, ar6s to be a great ski although they loose their camber quick and are a soft ski to begin with and jo pros to have the best ice hold of the 3
