Hey ns, maybe you can help me make a decision..

I ride a devastator 184 as my main ski right now.

Need something for park.

Based on inventory I can either get the 184 Arv 86, or I can get the 177 Arv 96 ti..

The devastator is pretty great daily driver but can't ski any park and if it's firm out it's not perfect.

Can't decide which one to go with for my 2nd ski.

I'm 180lb and ski well. Utah is home.

Thoughts?
 
Hmm well your height says 177 for a size and your weight says the 184, but you've got a funny situation here where the stiffer ski is available in the smaller size and not the bigger one. I'm a yuge fan of the arv 96 ti but here I think I'd say go for the 86, which will be more your length, and more of a skinnier softer (but not too soft!) park ski to complement your devs. The 96 ti might just be a little too similar to your devs in this particular quiver

But either way you'll be good, so just go with your gut. Do you want something a little stiffer but wider or slightly skinnier and softer? both are nasty skis, go with your gut and don't worry about it too much

Dude yes thank you for the thoughtful response!!! I went with the 96ti because I couldn't wrap my head around a longer park ski, and there's a lot of all mountain riding even getting too and from the park at my home resort..

Stoked! Thx

Hell yeah man, super sick ski. It was kind of a tough call but only cause they're both excellent skis and either could work great for ya. You're gonna love the 96 TIs, have fun dog
