hi , so i read through many threads already and googled but i still cant decide on what ski (especially what size) to get for me this season. i am looking for a light park ski. i am 185cm at 65kg and i do medium kickers. no big airs. my options are: atomic punx (155 164 173 182) armada halo (182 176 170) armada ar7 (181 176 171 166 161) salomon suspect (151 161 171 176 181) salomon threat (141 151 161 171 176) again, the recommendation on the size is more valuable than the ski itself. thanks!

For the Americans 185cm is just a little over 6ft.


I won't recommend a ski because I have never ridden any of those, but I would go 181 for whatever ski you choose.

i have never skied the punx but i have skied the atomic patent which i would think is similar. it was the most fun ski i have ever skied. i am like 195 cm tall and 115 kg and a type 3 skier if that matters. it was great on medium kickers and rails. if i were you go with something in the 180 cm height

you could get away with some Line Chronic Crypotinites. They come in a 183 which I think would be manageable for your stature.

i wouldn't go for lines. IMO they don't make as great skis.

thank you all for your tips. so i have narrowed my decision down to the atomic punx or the armada ar7. they both seem to be very light. but i cant decide!!!

I really like my Punx. I've never ridden the Ar6/7, but they have a bit more sidecut and are a bit wider (and stiffer I believe).
