neither 4Frnt nor Armada!...just read some threads in here about their warranty and then decide...

They are both really good park skis. I rode the ar5 and they were great, so i would go with the ar5.

 

[Lineskier-101]

I like STL's better, but I'd they're very similar, so I'd get the cheaper.

i had 05 ar5s they were sick now i have 06 stls they are sicker. they are the ar5s except a bit stiffer a wee bit wider more stable switch and the swingweight is the main diff, muchhhh lower. Ar5s are super sick though.if it only those two skis id say ar5s cause the 183 stl will be too stiff for you. im 6'4 180 lbs and its perfect for me id say get one size smaller stls or 176 ar5s or 180 ar5s work too.

 

[HiTz]

id say for u to go with the 177 STLs

[snoopy]

[Alex.e]

I'm gonna get one of theese skis in the summer and i'm 5'9 now and I think I'l grow to 6 ft untill next season.

I can get each for 399$

 

[Alex.e]

[winterkid33]

matters how much you weight if u weigh above 150 then its prob fine

 

[Alex.e]

I weight 155. So BOOM yeah I'll gett em!!

I love my STLs... they broke in sooo nice. Im looking for some Armada's right now, but yeah i love my STLs... prolly the most fun ski Ive ever riden. From the first day I was like god damn these are fun, and super poppy for being soft.
