Yeah, good choice there dude, but next time, do a lil research before you get a new ski, then you'll know you made a good xhoice, but you cant go wrong with Armada

I was about to say the same thing. The AR5s are a great ski... but anybody 5'10" and over can easily handle the 181s... fairly regardless of their skill level. I'm 6'1" and a really shitty skier and my 176s feel like midget skis.

You made a really good choice, and the ski is perfect for park as it is stiff enough for park

for ar5s you definately made the right choice. its a pretty stiff park ski and a new skier that weights 140lbs could not handle a 180cm ski that is as stiff as the ar5s. its not meant for begginers anyways so why should he get the largest size they make?
