i'm looking at this year's ar5's, this year's 4FRNTs, and fujatives. whatever i pick will be a dedicated park ski, and i'm looking mostly for a light ski that's durable, cuz i ride a lot of rails. i'm 5'4' 120 pounds and thinking around 170cm for each of these, unless people who have ridden them have other suggestions. what do you think?

depends on soft or stiff flex, if soft, fugitives are it. if stiff, consider the other two. I love my armadas, and have also heard nothing but good about the 4frnts, so take your pick

^^ do you mean like they're taking a beating and holding up? or just taking a beating and dieing? and as far as flex goes, i like the flex on my motherships but something a little, but not a whole lot stiffer would be good.

Ar5s without a doubt. They will be the best ski you ever own.

yeh in all honesty i was kinda thinking ar5's but i've heard of stories of them falling apart real quick, and that's kinda the only thing that's holding me back, you know? well, that and the price i guess. what have you guys found with regards to durability?

^Have you ever used either of those skis?

I'm gonna suggest fujatives, because they're inexpensive and they should hold up pretty well, which is really what you want from a park ski. But I have to ask, is there a reason you aren't considering Scratches?

Dont get Fujatives because they look better when I ride them. Obviously the 4Frnts and the AR5s are better because they cost more! Seriously though, with your height and weight, I doubt you can benefit from the Fujatives flex pattern, so get whichever ski is lighter.
