AR7 or Mastermind?

Hello, my name is Paul and I ski in southern California. I am new to park and it is the only thing to do at my home mountain. I was wondering whether the AR7 is worth the extra cash since i am new to park. I am looking for something forgiving and durable. I am 17, 5'11, 145 pounds and my budget is a little over $500 without bindings.

What do you guys think? Any other skis i should demo during this Christmas at Mammoth?

Thanks NS.

Hi paul

I would rather recommend you the t-hall seeing as its a little bit softer. And would suite you better.

Those skis arent really comparable, one is a top-of-the-line park ski (AR7), while the other is a price point ski (Mastermind). The mastermind will be much slower, softer, and less durable than the AR7. Definitely get the AR7, it's a sick ski

I was hearing the armada had been having a couple production with their skis in the past couple years so I'm not quite sure.
