Ok so this will be my first pair of twins ever. I have manliy used groomer skis and right now i have a pair of nordica sportmachines. I would like to get into riding park and riding switch since i am a ski instructor.nThere isnt alot of powder days in edmonton and i go down to the mountains once in a while. I will be learning park on these skis primarally and i might be using these on a fun freeski day. Also where should i be getting them mounted. I am also open to any other suggestions you might have.. ps.nI am 5'10 and 160 pounds if that changes anything. Thanks

If you like stiffer skis check out the nordica ace of spades ti, for something a bit more mid flex look at the ar7

Thanks I'll keet that in mind. How about the ARV, how does that compare to the AR7 and the ace of spades in the park and should I get them center mounted?

No need to center mount, especially if your going to be using this ski to instruct. Besides, the Edmonton parks are not anything to really get excited about, aside from rabbit. I'd recommend a -2 or -1 mounting. I ride the edmonton hills, mounted at -1 and I find it's ideal.

Thanks for that i was just curious. im at rabbit every weekend so I'll go into the park there. But i have a few other questions. Will it be easier to learn park with the ar7 than the arv and can I still ride switch with the ar7 or are the arv better at switch skiing? Thanks

ar7's or halo's are both good, thalls are amazing if your willing to spend that much money.
