Did you consider the thall it's a touch softer than the ar7. Of the two you listed though I'd say you really can't go wrong both kill it. I personally ski armadas and love em, I know people who love the walls really two great skis. I'd almost say go with the one you can get the better deal on, I don't think you can go wrong.

no. im like 5'6" or so and i''d ride 169's. especially if they're rockered like halos or alphas.I forget what size the walls come in since i've been looking at those as well.

hmm, well you might grow some more. plus symmetrical skis feel a bit shorter anyway. even directional park skis feel a bit shorter than normal skis since they're still mounted farther forward than a normal ski.

Buy the Walls. Best park ski that I have ridden in a long time. The symmertrical skis actually make a massive difference.

This is kinda weird but how tall is your dad? Like if he's 6'1 I'd go with the 171 for sure maybe all the way up to a 176 if he's like 5''9" then I'd say 171 is probably gonna be good for you for a while

They seem so sick. I want a pair bad. I wish they would soften them up though.
