I'm riding thalls, blends and msp(which im looking to hang up cause they're beat).  I'm looking for a park ski that dabbles incredibly well all mountain.  I'm 5'10 165 and i ski in the eastcoast and westcoast... My choices so far are;

1. Line Chronic

2. Armada Ar6

3. Salomon Suspect

4. Volkl Wall

Which do you think are the best?

i personally know that the ar6 is a great ski. I know someone who has them and loves them, so that's all i can personally say would be a correct choice. I have heard good things about the suspects and the walls but with no personal experience i cant give a accurate portrayal of those products.

i have the volkl walls and they are a great all mtn ski.  however i ve never ridden AR6s,  but my buddy has a pair of AR6s and he skis all mtn with them no problem.  The walls are on the stiffer side of the park ski genre, but because of this they hold an edge at high speed VERY well.  trust me you would nt be dissapointed with the walls

for a park ski thats great all mountain, check out reno rockers, great for butters, and the rocker will kill any new snow you find on the rest of the hill

the walls and the suspects would be the stiffest out of those so they would be better for all mountain.
