Stiff ski or soft ski?

Do you prefer a wider ski or a skinny park specific ski.

If you prefer soft and a ski with a little bit wider waist that can rip all mountain I would say get the anthem.

if your looking for 80 percent park and 20 percent all mountain and you want a ski that can stay strong on rails and have the waist to stomp jumps......the afterbangs are calling your name.

I bought my ar6 a year ago, i used them for one season and I have to tell you, they are the best skis i ever bought. There perfectly responsive and feel great while riding, really a good buy to consider .Ar6 FTW!

since your 80% park i would suggest the afterbangs, they're an amazing park ski and can hold their own on the rest of the hill. anthems are similar to the afterbangs but are a bit stiffer and wider and have a different flex pattern they are still very playful tho

dude the ar6 is the perfect ski for that it is really good in the park but rips through crud and can float on shallow powder. Also line chronics are a good choice also

He said he did not want a really soft ski.
Like most people said you should get the ar6, 176 would be good.

Ar6, Chronics, Dumonts, Rossi S4,

Your best bet is to get a stiffer ski if you go soft its going to be a pain in the ass on jumps not gonna lie...

The problem was the amount of skis that had to be warrantied, and they fact that their customer service sort of sucked on the dealer end.
