Hey NS, I need a new ski for next year, and I pretty much have it narrowed down to these 3, but I'm open to any and all suggestions.

First off, I'm 6'3'', 175 pounds, I ride about 90% park and 10% groomers. In the park, I'll be hitting about 75/25 jumps and rails. I like a stiffer ski that'll hold up on big jumps but will still be fun and playful enough to jib and pretty much fuck around when I'm not in the park.

+k for good answers

the ar7 is stiff and is good for groomers. also its a good ski for you because you do mostly jumps. im not tok sure how playful it is tho, its hard to get a stiff playful ski

The armada ar7s and rossignol scratch both fit your description quite well as they are both fairly stiff skis that will be quite nice on jumps and cruising around the groomers. The punx are great skis, but they are definitely not stiff, they are more of a soft ski.
The ar7s and rossi's are both excellent skis in terms of durability and performance. I'd go with either one that has the lowest price tag or the nicest topsheet.

i would get the s4's, but i would need a 181, where i can only find it in smaller sizes.
