I'm 5'7" and weigh about 140 lbs.  I am an expert skier (meaning I can ride anything on the mountain) I ski fast and charge pretty hard.  I am decent at park I'd prolly put myself as an intermediate park skier.  Since I do jumps and rails about the same amount i'm looking for something thats good for both.

R u looking specifically for a park ski, or something that will be sick everwhere, and won't be terrible in the park?

Then i'd go ar7 for sure, great jump ski, but not to stiff so its still fun jibbing. Plus it carves really well, and will be a ton of fun to just go ski groomers, and generally fuck around on

haha i think most of the people here are ar7 fans
but if you like the idea of rockered park skis then they are probably the ski for you but i dont know that it helps that much in the park unless your spinning onto rails or popping onto things then its not that useful

Ar7's no doubt the best for you. another version could be Rossignol s4 that I prefer to Armada's.
