Hi, I am looking for a park ski that handles well in icy conditions, moguls, and is (obviously) good in the park. I have narrowed my options down to the 181 Rossignol S4, the 181 Armada AR7, and the 185 Volkl Wall.

Location: Midwest

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 180 lbs.

Ability Level: New to park skiing but an advanced Slalom and Giant Slalom racer.

Are you going to use it all over the mountain? Because 4FRNT MSP is a park/all mountain ski good for taller people. But I don't know about moguls.

I took a look at that ski but it is a little too wide for my liking.

since your a pretty big kid, i think you would want a stiffer ski. im under the impression that the AR7 is stiffer than the s4. Im riding this years s4s this winter. but you cant really go wrong with either of these skis. AR7 has the newest design and technology because they are just being made this year. the s4 is older, but that doesnt mean they arent as good. you should also look at the domains
