I ride 80% park and 20% groomers/bc, when in park i like to charge rails and medium jumps but i always had flexier skis before. Should i try out the stiffier ARV 96 or stay on the flexier Honeybadger?

Im really tempted to try the Armadas because ive read/seen that you can still butter although more speed and energy is required.

Your thoughts?
 
What are arv 96s

I only know T H A N O S D O G 96s

all jokes aside i just bought honey badgers and im fired up but from the sounds of it the honey badgers would be better for you as you like a flexier ski and normally stay in the park

also the price is really different so u can use the extra cash on some really nice bindings or new goggles or something
 
Ive had the arv's for a season and I ski 6 times a day all season. They have held up pretty well with only one edge crack id say thats pretty good. It also breaks into being a softer ski and I can do butters at a pretty slow speed when I put some weight into it. but it still has the stiffness to give u good pop and keep u up when ur landing jumps backseat. I recommend them for sure, great ski

Honestly i hear the arvs are great too but for my riding style and size honey badgers are better( for my wallet too)
 
Also OP could u drop ur height and weight just to help myself and others get a bit more of a handle on which ski would be better fro ur
 
im 5’9 and about 150lbs, i will get the 177 length for sure

im leaning toward the ARV right now since i really want to step up my jumps this winter

That's good, cause the honey badgers SUCC at everything but rails

unless the price difference is a primary concern, ARVs beyond a doubt

theyre not particularly stiff, theyre just stiffer than they used to be
