Thall, Ar7, Halo, or Alpha 1??

[holytoast]

I am 6 foot 2, 210 lbs and i am looking for a new park ski. I have heard a lot of good things about these skis and im not sure which one would be the best in the park. Also, right now i have the 2010 k2 extreme center mounted with marker griffons and the length of my skis is 169 so i think that is too small for me considering how tall i am and since i joined NS i know that a lot of people that are even shorter than i am have skis in the 180cm range. Iam very good outside the park but i suck in the park..well i wouldnt really know because i havent tried much. I am just starting to get into the park and i would like to hear anyones opinion on which ski would be best. Thanks +k.

ar7, thall would be good if you were lighter

 

[holytoast]

oh

 

[yhprum1720]

I agree, the ar7 seems like the best choice for you considering your height and weight.

 

[holytoast]

I thought he was saying if i was lighter they would be good. Im not fat or anything btw haha

 

[holytoast]

oh nevermind haha

im around the same size and i love my new t halls, theyre not as buttery as some might think

 

[holytoast]

What size thalls did you get. I guess its down for the ar7 and thall for me then since i guess were the same size and you have t halls.

I love my ar7's for everything. They kill the park, and can shred all mountain, new snow, groomers, and you can haul ass on them, and i imagine that they charge better the t-halls.

ar7 for sure

 

[QuinnBestwick]

i would say either the alpaha or ar7 since it sounds like you like to ride outside the park to and the alphas i heard still are light

 

[Randy_Quench]

halo if you want a more buttery ski

alpha if you want something a bit stiffer

 

[danimal5]

definitely get 181s for what ever ski you get. the 176s wont be stable with your size

I think the halo will be too soft, so maybe the alpha or the ar7, if you want to use it outside the park also I would get the ar7, definately get the 181 ar7: - http://armadaskis.com/product/skis/ar7/

hey dude, i'm 6'3 200lbs...

I've heard this from 3 or 4 other people my size who ride a couple times a week-Aramada Alpha 1's... especially if you are just starting the park. I've got 182's and they fit perfect Great all around ski.

Good luck!

 

[holytoast]

Hey im 6'2 and i weigh 210 so i guess the alpha 1 would be good? Im just starting to do park

but im really good outside the park.

 

[vuong05]

For your weight and height, get the AR7 in a 181.

 

[AnthonyWalsh]

Ar7 all the way

I'm also looking for new skis and i was about to make a thread t-halls or ar7s i'm 5'10 and 120 pounds so i dont kneed anything really heavy

 

[Squashit]

I've never heard a complaint about the Alpha 1's, I don't see any reason weight/height would really play into things besides the actual ski length. If you're 6'2-6'4 182's would fit great.

Hope you find what you need playa
