How bad is it to hit rails on ski like the armada pipe cleaner that has a race base? Is the pipe cleaner a good all mountain ski too?

Race base make you go fast, vroom vroom.

But in all seriousness, I'm sure they will be just fine on rails.

ah, thank you! +k to all.

One more question-what are the main differences between pipe cleaners and ar6'/ar7's besides the price?

I believe Pipe Cleaners are still full side wall and the AR7s are the stepdown cap/sidewall hybrids. Core material/stiffness is a bit different too.
