ARV 94 for Park only

thoughts on using arv 94 as a park only ski? I’d use it for both rails and medium to large jumps.

Or should I consider a park only ski instead like the Line TW or arv 88 since those are 90mm so a bit more agile. durability isn’t a huge concern since I ski 90-100 days a year (most of those days are Park days) they’re only going to last one season regardless. Any other suggestions?
 
You can use ARV 94s for park bro there literally park skis and 94 is a good width. If its too wide for you go narrower but u should be fine. Armada makes pretty durable skis so they might last you 100 days or more but it all depends how you ski and if you have bad crashes that might break them
 
A quick search would've lead you to multiple posts about armada durability issues of late specifically with sidewall blowouts. if you are using them as park skis I wouldn't expect 90-100 days out of them before they blow apart. And I wouldn't expect the warranty department to help you out if you do end up blowing out a sidewall and delaming. For heavy park abuse I'd recommend a more stout ski like a k2 poacher or ON3P. same with the TWs, I'd go with the chronic 94 if you were going to go with a line product.

I have multiple homies who rip 60+ days in the park on the old arvs. The new arvs are even more durable with the 3Dwedgewall technology. Personally I would never recommend any line product if you are looking for a lick of durability, same with k2, and you don't have a chance with k2 warranties. ON3P are widely regarded as the most durable, well built park skis out there, multiple homies that ski park daily are still riding their 3-4 yr old ON3Ps. I have skied faction in the past and I have broken 1/3 pairs over 4 yrs so, pretty happy with that and I was able to get a warranty. I just bought the arv 94, and plan on skiing it only in the park if that helps answer your question.
 
Where are you mounting yours?
