well all those skis will last durability wise, but for someone your size i would go with the ledges or domain as they will be more flexible and "playful" but if you really want a fun durable ski go with the domains everyone raves about them!

I'd say get the ar7s. They're the lightest of all your skis listed, and very durable too. I have a friend who rides them, and they've held up very well. K2 domains are supposed to be pretty good, but I heard that the reason they have rivots is that their edges aren't inserted using the best of methods, so every time you hit a rail, the edges ram into the ski, and the tip and tail want to delam so you need rivots to keep them together. Haven't heard anything about the volkls, but they seem to be a pretty legit company.

The ar7s are a great lightweight durable park ski so I would recommend them because I love them! The domains though are still a great durable ski and everyone is raving about them.

no just no, the rivets are for extra strength they dont hold the ski together...

Having a full edge wouldnt help either then. It would just buckle in.

It does not make sense.
