AR5...im in ur exact position....i ski east coast, but go out to alta/snowbird and park city each year..i got the AR5's, havent used them in pow yet but the store owner said that he has and that they are sick in pow as well as anywhere else...get AR5's...oh and if ur worried about the powder part, get a size too big..i should have got a 170, but since they arent the greatest ski for powder, i got the 176's which is what the shop reccomended.

If you don't ski too much powder, dont comprimise your regular skiing. AR5s are good ski for park and carve nice on groomers. They're pretty wide too so they should do alright for powder. I looked at the Karma in the shop. They're wide and light, and likely a good deal more flexy than the AR5. I would go with the AR5..infact I did. Skis awsome.

Before I get beat on for dissing Line, I just wanted to clarify that I'm talking about my 04 1260s which got trashed last year on my first day out. Topsheets were soft as diaria. If other skis by Line are better, props to them.
