URGENT- pe vs ar5

[justanotherskier]

ok so my mom an i went to the shop today and the only two skis i saw there that i really wanted were the pe and the ar5. i ski park and groomers, im 6'1 and weigh around 170. im pretty sure i want the pe but im just wondering what other people think

 

[imotion]

AR5 is the ultimate park ski.

Do you have the money to go bigger and expensive because i know from experience that armadas are very very sick.

 

[justanotherskier]

^yea but how are they out of park?

 

[Lineskier-101]

ar5's are pretty good at groomers. I'd suggest 180 ar5's. Of course pe's would work great also, but it's your choice.

 

[Tinga]

still great but the pes are going to be better outside of the park by a little

 

[dandoy]

Get the Armadas. You want them.

 

[=nick=]

PE's are way more solid

 

[PESteele]

PE's are sick get them havent tried ar5's

 

[Twintipskier-101]

Get the Ar5's, they would be great for you.

 

[LineBoarder]

haha so ya none of this has helped you... 50/50 so far

 

[PESteele]

i kno that the PE is wide enough for pow but not 2 wide 2 do groomers and its a sick park ski its a great all around ski

 

[PESteele]

if that helps at all

 

[winterkid33]

ar5s for sure. both are a solid ski but ar5s are the way to go

 

[DHogg]

agreed

 

[justanotherskier]

^why though?

 

[Skipig25]

personally I think the AR5 is a better ski, but the PE is a little stiffer, so for skiing the rest of the mountain is probably a better ski for you. but if you do 60% or more in the park, get the AR5

 

[attitashfreestyle29]

yeah the pes are a little fatter so it might be better for powder by a little bit but i'd go with the ar5s they're gonna be better for park so if u ski more park than all mountain get the ar5s

 

[pietrovito157]

for what your skiing i'd go with the PE it will suit u better to your needs but get what makes you wet...

 

[eheath]

Ha, they are technacly "all mountain" hence the Thall is the "ultimate park ski"

 

[cobra_commander]

The wider the better piriod get mother fucking prophets

 

[justanotherskier]

hahahaha yea i heard those work great on groomers

 

[617jibber]

get ar5s anyway

 

[timofysmif]

ar5 181

 

[DHogg]

because the AR5's are amazing everywhere. They are the ultimate pipe ski, are sick in the park have a good flex for general skiing so can hold an edge ok and work all mtn. They also rip in the park and have sick graphics.

When i rode the PE it felt kind of dead to me and was good for all mtn but not too good in the park. and im not diggin this years graphics. I know they dont matter but when u can have a ski like the ar5 i would take that first in an instant.

 

[EClay46]

pe's. the pe is mad strong and i heard that ar5's will fall apart

 

[DHogg]

only the first ar5. armada was quick to realise this and fix it.

 

[freezed]

you will have lots of fun on either.
