I had AR7s 166cm and I am used to a light ski.  I can get new skis, help me decide NS.

http://www.on3pskis.com/products/skis/jeffrey/ -161 or 171

http://www.momentskis.com/shop/product/vice/ - 168

http://armadaskis.com/product/skis/ltd-series/pipe-cleaner/ - 166

Or the classic http://armadaskis.com/product/skis/ar-series/ar7/ - 166

Any problems you've heard for the skis please post them.

Thanks NS +K to good answers.

If you gave us more info on how you ski (rails, jumps, all mtn, etc...) we could probably help you some more

Punx is a very light ski that is a lot of fun too. It is buttery so if you hit huge jumps it might not be right for you. We need more info to really help you. What do you ski? and How tall are you?

I ski rails and jumps, anything relating to the ar7s in weight and stiffness is good

If you're skiing park, I think the FR or the J'mo, if you want a wider platform, would be a better suit than the Jeffrey's. The Jeffrey's are a lot more all mountain oriented, whilst the other two are more geared towards park riding.
