so here's the deal:

I'm 5ft8, 140-145 pounds
From the eastcoast (groomers)
Advance skier
I ride about 60% all mountain and 40% park/jib
Currently riding on Rossi scratch fs

I was looking for the AR6, I know they are good park skis but will they fit my needs for all mountain?

I suggest the 175 ARV. I love mine in the park, and they are great everywhere else. Or the 4FRNT MSP

actually my friend rides the t hall from a few years ago and he loves them for all mountain. he claims they have legit float on pow for a park ski.

silencer is strictly park from my experience. take a look at the kung fujas. i ride more like 70-30 all mountain to park and the kung fujas are perfect for me. wide enough to float in pow, great on the groomers, and if i want to go in the park theyre buttery as hell
