Think I've narrowed it down to the volkl wall 169cm or ar6 171cm. Everybody seems to like the ar6 but not much talk about the wall. I saw that the wall got the top score in the freeskier buyer's guide for park skis though. Since it's symmetrical it seems like it would ski forward and switch better than the ar6 if I'm gonna have it as a park ski and mounted center. I'm 5'6" 135lb. Any thoughts?

The AR6 is definitely my favourite of the two, but I know a guy that really loves his Walls. The symmetrical is super nice for park, and even arcs turns nice too. The AR6 also skis switch very nice though, no tip catching or anything like that. The non-symmetrical cut of the AR6 makes it a lot nicer for all-mountain when you get a little bored of the park and head around the mountain.
