Stuck between Ar7's and El Rey's

Last season I skied on a 150 coda and I'm around 5'2, Next season I'd like to go for either an AR7 161 or an El Rey 157.

Any ideas??

Id go for Ar7; pretty light, rock solid on jumps and rails; its a perfect all-rounder.

I would go for el rays simply that you are going to out grow what ever pair of skis you buy and its not worth the extra money for ar7s

If moneys not a issue Ar7 161.

It will be a tad bit taller than you but your grow into it. The Ar7 will proably cost more but it is built better for park. Will last a little longer. Yes the AR7 it is a bit stiff compared to other park skis flex but the El rey is stiffer.

Overall you could go either way it would make a good park/allmnt ski. If straped for cash go El rey. If you got some money to burn go with AR7.

AR7 for sure. Bomb ski, perfect for different scenarios. You won't be disappointed

Fuck the El reys, they're so bad skis, the construction is so poor, I've broke them in less than 2 weeks and one of my friends too!
