yeah probably have seen my thread on the bst but...im debating over 07-08 179 blends and 07-08 armada pipecleaners.  i know they arent similar skis but they are both in good condish and about the same price.  for my description above which do you think is better?  i allready have all mountain skis so i was looking for a park ski.  i still would ski a lot of groomers and all mountain with em though.


oh yeah also debating the 175 troublemakers that were on here awhile ago.

im 6'2" 160 lbs.  i want to get more into park but i also ski a lot of all mountain.  i am from the east coast (pretty much explains it) and want to center mount (or pretty close to it) the skis

thanks

go with the armadas. I never did like Lines blend or chronic skis. Pipe cleaners do fucking work

How could you possibly resist a race base? I'd say pipe cleaners. They're both a little short for you though... I'm 5'10 and I ride 178s.

im 6'2', and know where the 175's would stand on me, wayy too short for you. get the lines, cuz when u progress and get better, you'll want something longer, then u'll already have it. get the 178's, or 179's.

It can actually make quite a difference, but don't worry about it too much. I would say go with the lines because you can still ski all mountain with the lines and they're awesome in park. I know you're looking for a park ski, but if you get a pure park ski and decide you want to go ski something other than park, then it sucks if you have pure park skis.
