yo! does anybody know of a ski thats very similar to ar6's. I have a pair but they are getting old and beat to shit, ar6's are my favorite park ski so far, i like the flex and the way they feel, i want to get another pair but they are very expensive, so im looking for something cheaper.

+K for help

The pipe cleaners are pretty much the same ski just stiffer and with a race base

2011 ar6's are stiffer than 2011 pipe cleaners. Just got a pair of 2011 ar6's and double checked twise, and they are stiffer.

Liberty LTEs are very similar, a bit softer, but a lot lighter.

I've also owned AR6s, and to be completely honest, there are VERY few skis like them, they have an amazing feel and are perfect for everything (except like over a foot of pow) so finding something to replace them is a bit tough, which is why I recommend LTEs, it's the only ski I've skied (and I've skied tons of skis) that had that same feeling as the AR6s.

Also, look around, there are some KILLER deals out there right now, and you never know, you might be able to find a pair of AR6s for a nicer price.

lte's have the perfect flex, stiff underfoot, yet buttery in the tips and tails

Get the AR7! All the awesomeness that was the AR6 but lighter and more durable.
