so this year i plan on park ratting as much as i can, but i also like riding glades and occasionally ill just ride groomers. Im looking for a really playful ski, something thats easy to butter, but isnt a complete noodle. I plan on hitting more rails than jumps. Im 6'0 and about 160 lbs. So far im thinkign of armada thalls, line anthems, line afterbangs, and 4frnt tnks. Any suggestions are appreciated.

my vote is for the T-Halls, such a fun ski.

agreed, Blue Steeles look so sick. Anthems would work too.
My opinion, in order:

1. Blue Steele
2. T-Hall
3. Anthem

181 Imo, I'm around 5'7'' and ski 175s and you're much taller than me. You would have a harder time jumping with 176
