Im looking for some new skis
i live on the east coast so we dont get alot of powder. i do alot of park but also screwing around the resort I wanted to know if the weight of a ski matter for spins or rails. I am looking at the ar6's but i heard that armadas are heavy.

My bro has ar6s and theyre barely heavier than my The Dumonts. I used to think weight made a huge difference but now i know its really jus thow much you look your spin and how much you commit.

Weight doesn't make much of a difference unless you're touring, which it sounds like you aren't.  I have skis that weigh between 11 and 17 pounds and I can't tell the difference unless I'm on the lift or I get really bored and do 360's on the ground.
