New ski suggestions

I'm looking to pick up a new ski this summer. Right now I thinking about the Suspects, Ar6's (to be ar7's?) or the new salomon 2012's. I ride park, but I also like to ski the whole mountain. What do people think of the 3 or do you have any other suggestions? I just want something all around solid that is playful and will hold up well on rails.

haha yeah I am looking for winter too. got a pair or 08-09 suspects that I am using for my summer setup, but i need something bigger for the winter. 2012's are sounding dope from what i've seen of them.

Check out ON3P and get some before the presale goes away.  I've only heard good things about all of their skis

Haha I know right. I've been saving money since last year to get good skis, the bike was a birthday present that I payed 200 for.  But I went with the Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc and already like it a lot.
