What size ar6's?

[miken110]

I am planning on purchasing the armada ar6's for this winter. I am about 5'6" and weigh about 140 lb. I will be working more on park this winter but I also like skiing around the mountain. I was just wondering if i should get the 161's or the the 166's. I wold also like to know what bindings i should get with these skis also. Thanks.

Im almost ur exact same size, and i got the ar6's this year, 161's. Theyre awesome, go with the 161's

Oh, i also have the PX12's, and i havent had an unwanted release yet.

 

[alaskakid]

With your size, I'd say a 171

 

[Silence]

I'd say no shorter than 171

 

[Rippy087]

I'm also assuming that your still growing? so no shorter than 171^^

 

[mychal]

i would go 176, but im partial to taller skis

Yeah man, if your still growing, the 171's would be your best bet. Ive got about 4 inches on you, and i have the 176's.

I just think that after a season, your going to be too tall for a 166cm ski. If you want them to last, go 171 for sure.

im gonna have to say def not the 161... i got a pair of 160 ar5's last season and i would like a longer ski now but cant afford that so im stuck with it... soo go with the 171

 

[-NY-STeeZE-]

word, at least 171

if your interested in 161 then i have some i PMed you

 

[thedutchmayn]

171 cause 161 is too short, 166 would be nice for like half a season then you will want the 171. the 171 will be better for next season which is a major factor. seeing as how skis are expensive.

when I first got my ar5 176's I was about 5'7 and 130lbs. Im now 5'11 145lbs, and skiing an arv185 for everything. its all preference. I guarentee you could ski a 176 totally fine.
