New Skis and New Bindings

Alright guys, I've helped so many people out getting new skis, and now I'm asking for the favor to be returned. Your opinion will definitely be taken into account.

So what happened: Today I cased on a 3 second run, and my bindings have been doing a very shitty job (Salomon Z Series DON'T BUY THEM). So I ripped my heelpiece out, and I'm fucking done with them. They've been on my original Ar6s and this is my fourth year on them. I absolutely love my Ar6s, but I feel that they are loosing life fast, and this is the right time to replace them if I'm gonna be getting new bindings.

So, I am an expert skier, 6'1 145 pounds and these are going to replace my Ar6s as park skis. I already have Line Bacons for pow skis, so I'm looking for a mostly park only ski, that can cruise around the mountain well also. I do both jumps and rails, and ski my skis hard, but keep very good care of them at the same time (the reason my Ar6s have even lasted this long)


So NS? What skis and bindings should I get?

i recon either go the line chronic, pipe cleaners or even the k2 extreme. the chronic will be the best on the jumps and have supper sick spin wieght the pipecleaners will be the best in the pipe and probably boxes and rails and the extreme is the ebst al round one.

since it seems like youve really liked the ar6's i think getting the pipe cleaners would be sick. You can get last years for a reasonable price on evo http://www.evogear.com/outlet/skis/armada-pipe-cleaner-2009.aspx
