i have a choice between ar5's thall's and scratch fs. cost isnt really a consideration. i ski mostly park on the east coast. how do they hold up, etc. thanks and i couldnt find anything on the search.

 

[dkinger4]

and i am 5'8 140

 

[dandoy]

I would get some AR5s.

 

[dandoy]

Actually, I got some AR5s.

 

[dkinger4]

are they stiff skis or softer?

 

[dandoy]

They aren't really a stiff ski, for someone your size I'd say mid-stiff.. like... in between soft and stiff!

Me like!

If you are just doing park, get thalls, if u will be doing alot of riding around, tree, bumps, get the ar5s.

Buy my AR5's with salomon 810's. They're a better all around ski and they're in emmaculate shape. 350 u pay ship.

 

[poor_boyz]

or buy my scratches. check my for sale thread.

I wouldn't call any of them amazing out of park. but the AR5 and scratch are going to be able to be taken all over the mtn. i think the AR5 is wider so if u want a super stable ski go for it.. but east coast u should be fine on the scratch at least as for what u need.

 

[threejay]

ar5 no doubt

 

[crooks]

go with the ar5s

 

[dkinger4]

are the AR5's light?

 

[ECski]

drew u snowboard

 

[DHogg]

i'd go for an AR5. probably a 176. But a 170 would also be good.

the ar5's are light. I'm on a pair of t-halls right now and they are okay for all mountain but the ar5's are stiffer, and better carving. The pop on the t-halls is sick, and they are really light. I ski public enemies for all mountain though, because the tanners are not the best on an icy day outside of the park. ANd the rounded edges were cool, They don't affect carving at all, but made rails a lot smoother on the first day.

 

[SBP]

get the ar5's for sure. the t-halls are pretty park specific but still can be riden anywhere. but when you get going fast they tend to rattle.

 

[CollinWright]

go with the scratch, ive skied both and the scratch is better.

 

[ECski]
