kinda need more info then, I do rails, how many rails, where do you ski, and do you do ANY jumps and if so how big? I mean, from what you've given me I'd say it's personal preference, but the AR6's are going to last longer and be more durable for sure, I've never skied nines, but I've seen them get completely destroyed in a matter of days.

If you are just doing rails, Thalls are going to be better than AR6s(which it seems like people are saying would be better than HHPs).  Thalls have all the same materials and build as AR6s, but with the flex points moved in a bit for better butters.  Armada makes great skis and is very smart about park skis

Thalls for butters.  really, the only difference from AR6s is graphics and core taper(moved closer on Thalls, hence making butters easier).  I am surprised how many people don't notice that.

Yeah go ar6. Tried and true durable rail ski. And also if you are just doing rails I would check out the Line afterbangs which will be super easy to butter on.

Ok thanks, but in AR6 and HHP, the AR6 wil be better and will be more flex and more light ?

Because the AR6 is a lot more expansive than the HHP, so I need to do a good choice :)
