needed some new short cheap buttery park skis(for when 181 Pipe Cleaners are too much, or when i feel like hitting some rock filled early season thin pow runs) and these three came up here.  166 07 AR6s, 172 07(I think, maby 06 or 08) Atomic Triplets, and Elan(I think 08, maby 07) mo2.2 double rail 175s.  With the AR6s, remember 07s are very different from 09s flex wise.

  I want them to be buttery with some pop, and stable on takeoffs(landings doesn't matter) and easy to spin(whatever you want to condiser that) but mostly just fun.  Read some reviews..but they all seemed to be vague, so anybody that has skied them throw out some pros and cons.

you really cant go wrong no matter what one you get. all are very well build and very durrable. the ar6 is prly a little stiffer than the triplets. im not too sure though. ive only had the chance to ride the triplets and they were fun. dont know too much about the elans

I have 181 09 Pipe Cleaners as my normal park ski.  I also have rossi blasts, which are going away for $100(I hate the edge hold, so they were going to become my rock and short park ski) since someone needs skis ASAP, so I am replacing them with some cheap fun ski(hence the old models/years).  09 AR6s are not one of the offered skis, and if they were I would turn them down(too close to PCs, I have hand flexed 09 AR6s and they flex pretty damn close to PCs, while 08 AR6s are much softer, so I am guessing 07s are alot like 08s).

BTW, the current first spot(pending pics/edge codition) is 171 Bluehouse MRs.  Bamboo looks fun.  He said one tail has some edge gone, how bad will that be for me after 5 days of riding?
