Been looking to grab a pair of skis for the upcoming season. Armada's Arv 96's caught my eyes and wanted some opinions on them.

Tell us about what kind of skier you are. Park? All mountain? What are your old skis? Where do you ski?

I ride largely park but need a ski that will fair well on pow days and all mountain. I ski largely in the Rockies. I'm not to serious just out their to have a good time with the boys.

ARV 96 would definitely work fine, but I'd recommend either the Atomic Bentchetler 100 or J skis all play. I have tried all three of those skis and I'd say the ARV is the least playful. But I didn't ski it much so take this with a grain of salt.

I wouldn't be surprised if [tag=229241]@patagonialuke[/tag] has skied it before, and I think [tag=105085]@Twig[/tag] did a roofbox review on it.

sounds perfect for you then. there are other good options but they're super great do-it-all skis

The ARV is much more playful than a bentchetler 100, the bentchetler is far stiffer than the ARV overall.
