I ski park %90 of the time. Theres no powder where I live (midwest) and i like the weight and flex of my old ar6's. ++karma thanks
 
Reno Jibs are some of the lightest skis youll find.

ar6's are always a good choice but you already have those.. maybe get another pair?
 
i dont know any of those skis other than ar6 because i ride them and they are in every way shape and form the worst ski imaginable.

seriously. they are really really bad.
 
everyone i know that has them loves them......you cant go wrong man if i was gonna do mostly jumps id go alpha 1 however the ar6 is great as well for a more balanced park attack the ar6 will do you justice
 
AR6s are pretty much a stock park and pipe ski, from what I hear they ride very nicely throughout the park and pipe, as well as down the groomers, through the trees, bumps, and even in 6 inches of fresh. They are supposedly very light, poppy, stable, and pretty durable.

The Alpha 1 is a new breed of park skis, with its early taper, rockered tip and tail, and regular camber and sidecut under foot. Its supposed to be very light all around and also in the air, giving it very low sing weight. Its also supposed to be great for taking off switch and carving off lips, as the ski is much less likely to hook or catch due to the rocker. Might not be they best ski to take onto rails, boxes, tires, barrels, etc as it has the race base like the pipe cleaners, whoch will make it nice for clearing large hits, and just cruising around the mountain, but is much softer and could get wrecked on rails.
 
you're crazy man its a great ski

they're pretty light, nice pop, fast base thats durable and they slay groomers are nice and stable on jumps but soft enough for butters and jibbing around

super fun ski
 
If your comparing all of these skis you should also consider the Reno Rocker. Very similar to the alpha 1 only it is wider. its also super light.
 
i have my park ski next year narrowed down to the AR6's, chronics and reno jibs.
im really confused though, cuzi know nothing about reno jibs or where to find them for cheaper than the moment website
 
Nah, that's not too big for the midwest. I highly suggest the AR6 or the Alphas though. I rode the AR6 all season and it's really one of the best skis I've ever owned. The alpha is also really good. It takes a little getting used to, but it's a super fun ski.
