Pretty lost on what ski to get for next season. I ride park the entire time. i hear good and bads about all of these skis just looking for some other input on what you guys think. Thanks!
 
I heard the ARV is supposed to be a kickass ski, I'd say it really depends on what type of ski you're looking for. Wide or skinny, soft or stiff, and if you care about weight a lot.

nothing to wide just a nice moderate ski. I dont really care about a soft ski i dont butter that much and as for weight i obviously dont want a heavy ski. I rode the 2015 lone chronics last year and they felt nice.
 
So i basically got it narrowed down to the atomic punx, pipe cleaners or arv96s. now i had 178cm skis last season and they felt good(Im like 6'1") should i go higher to like 181 or go down to a 176? Thanks!
 
You could do either. I encourage people and myself to go longer because me stability with a bigger platform which in turn makes them more fun to ski. I hand flexed the ArV 96s in shop today and wow do they seem like a fun ski
 
Also the pipe cleaners and punk are similar from my experience, while the ARV is gonna be a lot softer and wider platfom. PUNX and PP are gonna be stiff and skinny, great for stomping big stuff and a reliable ride

really tough decision right here lol what would you consider the 2015 line chronics more on the stiffer end? cause i enjoyed riding those.
 
what about the Bdog? the new version is so good. 90mm underfoot and softer and more playfull then the ARV. I have a full review up on thursday

The Bdog was surprisingly soft to me. Gotta be a really fun rail ski, right down my alley
