I'm thinking about getting the 2014 version of either of these skis. I ski about 85% park and 15% all mountain. I'm 5-7 and about 120 pounds. Which skis should i get?

The Silas is more responsive and poppy, and can be found at a great price. Durability wise, both are actually pretty solid. The AR7 is a super standard park ski, the Silas has a little bit extra to it. Choose whichever your looking for.

Thanks, Right now I'm leaning more towards the AR7's should I get the 171 or 176.

I'd go 171, they're a full camber ski so there isn't really any need to go any longer at your height. 171 will be stable enough to go really fast and hit big jumps but you'll also retain the skis maneuverability making it easier to fast turns and swaps on rails.
