hey guys. I have never made one of these threads before so I think I get my 1 ticket for one of these threads. I am 5'5 115 pounds(a small guy). I ski pretty much 95% park, 5% groomers. In the park I do 65% rails, 35% jumps. Since I do alot of rails I want a ski that can hold up on them but I also want a ski that I can learn stuff on jumps on. A few ideas I have are the Armada ar6s, 4frnt The click, Amplid Antidogma. If any of these skis would be good for me that would be great because these were my initial ideas, but if I am way off with me choices let me know. Thanks alot guys.

since you're smaller, the flex isn't going to affect you as much... so, you should also look into invaders/anthems... i think they would be good for you. but, you can never go wrong with ar6s!

Since you do a lot of rails, the T-Hall would be perfect. I am about your size and weight, and just got the T-Halls. Haven't used them yet, but their supposed to great for park, especially rails. AR6 is also a great park ski.

which would be better for me the STLs or the TNKs. Also if I am going to get the invaders I might as well just wait until next year for the afterbangs.

this is just my opinion but,
you seem to small for anthems,
Very vide waist,
My invaders have been great on jumps
And there amazing on rails
The Armada alpha 1's might be good or rails to since
they ski shorter and theres a lower swing weight,
and they'd be super sick on jumps
And yes 171 should be a good size.
