07' ARV vs. 07' chricton pro model

[skinnylove]

they are both 165's. i am 5 6 and i weigh like 110. which would be better for me and what are the price comaprisons? also i live in n van so i ski at grouse and whistler mostly so which would be better for where i live and what is each good for?

 

[edmonton_skier]

does crighton even ski still, where the hell did he go?

 

[skinnylove]

well he obviously does somewhere becuz theres an 07 model of his ski. but that duznt really answer my question...

 

[freeskier53]

hes been really sick these past couple years...and has been able to do anything

 

[Calb3rt]

you should go a size bigger than 165 for whichever you choose.

 

[invaderskier36]

165 is kinda small for 5'6'' maybe go up into the 70's

 

[skinnylove]

but im only 110 pounds like so i dunno if ill be able to spin or do rails and shit on 70's. which is a better ski though?

 

[STACKS]

dude just get a bigger ski you'll be able to ski everything no matter what and its better to have a little more ski under you you'll like it to go bigger

 

[fouldsys]

arvs if u ski in whistler.

 

[skinnylove]

what about arvs or chronic blends? becuz those are the 2 most accesible for me...?

 

[s.jeff]

arvs

 

[eyeLiektoSkee]

im 160 and i bought the 185 arvs. Get the 175s dude you wont regret it. I skied mine first time yesterday and it was just incredible. Great flex, nice and light, and I'm assuming youre not fully grown so go 175

 

[skinnylove]

ok thanks. any more suggestions?

 

[BigJew]

Yeah, Blends or ARV's for where you're at. I have a pair of crichtons and they're definately pipe skis, so not recommended for pow.

 

[wrenegade]

I'm assuming you're still growing, and since you live in Van, go with the 175 arvs. Might as well get more than a season out of your skis. Even if you want to mount way forward to help spin, a second mount later down the road is much cheaper than a new pair of skis. Plus the ARVs are pretty soft so they shouldn't overpower you....too much.

dude go with the arv's the chrighton (sp?) is a park ski and if your in van your probably gonna be skiing all around the mountain, the dynas only have a 78mm waist if i remeber and the arv's are like 87 or 90.. go with the arv's still a real soft ski for a lighter guy, or at least the 06 ones were soft

 

[FUUUCK]

what the fuck are you talking about??? he's 110 pounds

 

[lucyford]

c-r-i-c-h-t-o-n.

it's reaaally not that hard.

but go ARV.

 

[skinnylove]

bump

 

[Jorgen.]

go with the arv

 

[Tjstripp]

yea stay 165, i am 160IB and 5'10'' or so and i looooooooove the 175 chriton pros and alsot the dynastar troubles, so i would say go for the chriton at a 165!!!

 

[SMOOVE]

where did DC go?

he just vanished.

he has a sick ski though, it sure didnt vanish.

however, you live where they just got how many feet of snow, well where you live it was rain, but i think you get it.

might as well get a bigger all mountain ski... if you like dynastar, bug trouble maybe?

the arvs are pretty hot though, youre little, youll float.
