my fischer airstyles are beaten to hell, so I need a new park ski.

Im looking into AR5s, STLs and maybe TM 07's

(I know that very few people have tried them yet, but I think basically theyre just 06's with reinforced edges)

I have maden's for pow, so Im looking into a ski that can handle the park (mostly) and a little all mtn well.

BTW, Im 6' 145-150 I think, so I think I'll buy them in the 181-183 range.

So, if you could give me some honest reviews it would be nice.

Also open for other recommends(spelling)
 
stls are the shit. get them long im 5 10 and i ski the 183's and love them the will feel stiff at first but they give in with a little bit of use. Im also a big fan of the Salomon foil. ive herd nothing bad about them and ive got about 5 friends that ski them. U cant go wrong with ether of them.
 
ok so now it is down to ar5s and stls.

I know that stls are incredibly light, but are ar5s a lot heavier?

(I'm not a pussy, but I just wanted to compare them;-)

And what ski is most stable on jumps, and has most pop?
 
Well, the 180 MSP is lighter than 176 AR5 so I think it's a small difference but not very much.

They're both very tough skis, so buy whatever you get cheapest/like most.
 
Ive seen both stl's and ar5's with delam problems it all depends on your personal prefrence. I like my stl's and ive got a friend that likes his ar5's so its down to whatever u like.
 
176 ar5 or 179 fujative. dont count out Line though. anthems, chronics, invaders... but wait and see they reviews on their new shit
 
I think you should go for the Ar5's because a buddy of mine had alot of problems with his stl's with the edges breaking and shit
 
stl's are amazing skis, but they just have structural issues. alot feel that they are worth the cost even though they arent that durible because of how sick they ride.
 
its not. you have been brainwashed by the NS community into thinking old long skis are steezey and ones that fit you perfectly are a joke
 
nah they arent too short for u im 6'1 on the east coast and ride a 177 karma (weigh 180)
