I'm about 5'2 and 125 lbs. I ride 75% and 25% everything else.I'm from the east coast - ontario

I'm a decent skiier,

Any suggestions on skis?
 
I'm assuming you said 75% park?

AR6, Scratches would be fine. Get whatever size is closest to your height. Binding, I'd go with a 10din? PX10 or something.
 
look for about 160 in size, maybe a little bigger so you can grow, but i wouldn't go over 165 if i were you.
 
ar6s wouldnt be bad but they are a little stiff and heavy for park, but i like the stiffness for big tables. But honestly for riding chicopee just get some fujis or invaders, cheap and good enough for chicopee. and man up and get 171s you will grow by winter dont ride on pussysticks
 
prob best of with a park specific ski mounted a few cm's from true centre since ur 75% park and live in the east...invaders, anthems, scratch ghetto, thruster, t-hall, addict could all work

and for bindings Id get something in the 12 din range since u are prob still growing and gaining weight (fat and/or muscle) px12, z12 maybe
 
i dont think the ar6 sre that heavy, for example, i know the ar6 and dumont are pretty much the same weight, and the dumont is the lightest ski in the salomon line based on it's size.

oh and for a ski reccommendation, id say next year's 161 dumonts, they seem like they would be perfect for you. as for bindings, id say salomon 912 or z12. i think the sth would be overkill.
 
I still say fujis or the TM's. Your not going to get a better deal anywhere on any ski/binding than the TM's.
 
proskis dont neccesarily cost more, but if it matters that much i would say like some surface watchlife (but im not sure if they come in 161 next year) or maybe even the armada el ray or moment reno
 
I have some dope 167 4frnt stl's for sale...less than 30 days on em...white ones with the dope bases. shoot me a pm if ya interested
 
well i dount the 161 skis that much different from the 176.

also, i wouldn'y have bought them if they weren't good, so it makes sence for me to reccommend themand he skis pretty much the same stuff as me
 
no, not really. i mean i see what you mean but the thing is that, as you know, ive been looking for skis since like january so i know alot. and after all that time i decided on the dumont because of the riding styl i do, etc. since this kid does the same type of riding as me, it would be a logical reccommendation. i base my reccommendations on knowledge, not loyalty.
 
4frnt stl anyone?? besides from the fact that i have a pair for sale.....siiick ski exactly for what you want to do. I would still keep em if i didnt need new pow skis
 
You wouldn't want to mount invaders, anthems, or addicts back, or you'd probably mess up their sidecut and flex pattern. All 3 are symmetrical, so you can only really mount them in the center.

The rest sound like good choices.

Also, what do you mean by all mountain? That matters, because is it ripping turns(probably not, because you're in the east) or just butter runs or blues?

 
Yeah, I was wondering the same. How do you live in Ontario, and arent 90% park or more? There isnt much powder here..
 
if u mount a non-cemetrical ski forward from recomendednd arent u messing up the side-cut and patterns as well? hmm
 
i meant for like 160cm

i know about the ghetto, i meant whatever they're replacing the scratch FS pro with
 
well, that's why you don't mount most skis true center, cuz then you'd be screwed. Of course, there is a little leeway, and reccomended is probably just for carving, right?

For the best park performance, it's okay to mount a bit forward, i guess
