I don't know why everyone says the Ar5 is a good EC ski. I'd hate to ski them on that bulletbroof ice everyday, they really don't bite all that well. I would think PEs or Skogens if you want something around a 180cm.
Chronics are sick for allmountain. Ar5's are pretty good for allmountain and kill in the park to.

'Duran Duran bought Armada, Armada bought Microsoft, Microsoft bought MSP and AOL, AOL owns Time4 which owns the MountainSportsMedia which owns SKi, Skiing and RIP Freeze... so Armada now owns McDonalds and Coke.
chronics are sick but pritty stiff for a park ski but great all mountain and i love them in the park. but a good softer ski is the trouble make and really good all mountain also, but they are not that durable unless they changed this years
