I am 5 foot 11 175 pounds and am looking for a fun playful ski. I live in the midwest so I practically ski on ice. I do not hit jumps over than 40 ft because they are not available. Im looking for a ski that is also light enough so it will help me get around on my first flip. I previously rode the vokl walls this year and liked them except for the fact that I could not have to much fun on them (Butters and such). I have been doing a lot of research and I think I have narrowed down my choices to the Armada AR7's, the Line Chronics, or the Faction Candide 1.0. I have previously had the line traveling circuses and masterminds and I loved them. The vokl walls were just to stiff for me. K+ for whoever helps.
 
Okay so i wouldnt recommend the ar7s because based on your skiing style they dont really match it same with the 1.0s.

The chronics are a better choice but may be a bit heavy for you but hb the 2.0's or filthy riches?

Yeah I looked into the filthy riches and there is a lot of rocker which leads me to be nervous because rocker skiing on ice is supposedly from what people say sketchy. The camber 0N3P ski Presters also caught my eye but they seem a little to stiff and not very playful. Thanks for the help.

Haha rocker is not bad at all on ice sure you cant get an absoulte edge hold like a full camber ski but honestly its so slight. Btw based on what you described you want a rockered ski... Just fyi.
 
The Ar7 isn't really something I would consider buttery. It's pretty stiff actually. I would consider it more a hateful kitten killer, than a fun playful.
