ya ive heard the afterbangs aren't as good as they're cracked up to be. Now im just wondering if I should get the AR7s or Tanner Halls

the tanners just have a softer butter zone, i would deff go with the ar7's at your height and weight

Definitely get the Ar7's.  Without a doubt, just from your description of the kind of skiing you do the Ar7's are for you.  At your weight I would consider looking at the Thall if you want a softer ski though.  I'm 6' 2", 155lbs and I have a pair of Thalls.  Love them to death, very soft, can butter the shit out of them.  Just a heads up the Ar7's are stiff at least compared to the afterbangs and Thalls.  But with the dimensions of the Ar7's your pretty well covered for an all mountain ski that excels in the park.

ar7 for sure but i wouldnt even consider them stiff like im 130 and i can butter them so nicely, also hands down the best ski i have ever rode i ski about 50/50 park/all mountain and they kill it in both, and at your weight i would definitely get the ar7 cause imo the T-hall will be to soft if your hitting any jumps
