If you want a softer Aramda ski, go with the T-Talls. They'll kill it on rails, they'll do fine for jumps, and you can butter the shit out of them. IMO, however, the AR6 is the way to go. I've had mine for three seasons and absolutely love them. Yeah, they're not the softest in the world, but the flex is definitely medium, and with the amount of pop they have, if you're into doing butters and nollies and shit, they will kill it. The pop is personally my fave part about this ski. Also, because they aren't really really soft or oddly shaped (i.e. Alpha 1), they are also an awesome ski on groomers, moguls, off-piste, and anywhere else on the mountain. Get some.
