2012 vs AR7 vs S4

[skibum81290]

Ok guys, well I thought I had decided on skis this year, but I changed my mind once again. Looking for a solid park ski that isnt a noodle, but not stiff either. I am 5'2" 130lbs and not growing anymore . I am an ex racer/mogul skier, so I can handle my shit, but I need a new dedicated park ski. probably 60/40 jumps/rails. I am reasonably new to park, so no jumps over 40ft or so. I am light, so i do want a ski that I can butter, but once again, not a noodle because I do ski like a racer on the way to the park lol.
2012pro: rockered, fairly softcons: not symmetrical
AR7Pro: good flex, nice topsheet, solid sidewallCon: not rockered (con?), not symmetrical, core center mounting vs true center
S4 Pro: rockered, people killin it on emcons: not symmetrical, stiff-er

S4's are NOT rockered. They are a a really solid stiff ski. If your an ex racer/mogul skier you will absolutely love them.

AR7's have a really nice mid flex, really durable too. You could still butter them because their a bit softer in the tip and tails than underfoot.

If I were you i'd get ar7's. Their stiff, but not too stiff.

Maybe look into k2 silencers. Good stiff flex, early rise in tips and tail, bomber construction, and their really cheap for what your getting.

Go AR7 the AR50 is too awesome. Makes the swing weight super light and it is so snappy.

im pretty sure 2012's are fully symetrical, thats why they are supposed to be mounted dead center..

 

[skibum81290]

I wish they were, but they are not.

 

[Im.a.skier]

yeah they arent, but they are supposed to be center mounted because core center is dead center on that ski
