guys sorry to bother about this but I am ordering my armada art7's today and I am nervous about which size to choose... I want them to last me forrr ageeesss so I dont want to grow out of them because im only 15...
I am 176 cm and 150 pounds... please help!I want them for park/all mountain half of each lets say...
thank you
 
181cm @ -2.5cm provided you're competent, otherwise 176cm if you consider yourself intermediate or there abouts. Bear in mind the AR7 has been beefed up (again) this year so 176cm shouldn't have any issues washing out or lacking stability.

 
Definately go for the 181s. Unfortunately they dont make bigger but you will have to live with that for now. If you think you are going to be 185/6cm after you finish growing then maybe have a look at some different skis - volkl bridges are brilliant all mountain skis, or have a look at some kung fujas which are a bit better in the park.
 
Dont get the 176s, you are already that tall and going 4cm bigger will help when you inevitably grow more. Get the 181s.
 
wont they be heavier and harder to control though when skiing whatever it be poweder or park or all mountain etc...? :S
 
Weight difference will be negligible. Running surface and effective edge difference will be noticeable however. Ski length choice is ultimately based on rider preference/style/skill ... You will invariably have to answer these questions yourself and go from there.

 
Skiing on a ski a little longer than you are tall isn't too tough to get used to. And it'll be much more stable and better to ski on. If you think you'll grow at all, go for the 181's. Weight difference isn't going to be noticeable either. They're pretty light skis so it's not going to matter.
 
It's only a 5 cm difference... That's like this much:

You really won't notice it all that much. But either way, just get 181.
 
Triple post.... Whatever. It's 5 cm when I type it into the reply box, but it ends up like 4. Either way, it's not a very big difference. At all. But go 181, like I said, for the third time...

1001 post by the way.
