I just tore my edges out of my arv 96's they've been in service for around 4 years, but it's time to move on. I'm looking for a playful park ski that can take icy east coast trees and do alright in some pow. Currently looking at the Liberty Helix 98, Reckoner 102, and Poachers, any other suggestions or reviews of these skis?

Never ridden a pair of libertys but based on what I've heard from many people I would say that they're a lot less durable than ARVs

Helixs are not nimble at all defintly not the move

Not sarcasm at all. The rocker profile helps to make quick turns and get a bit of float without needing to sit over your tails. They have a medium long turn radius compared to other park skis I've used and going fast hasn't been an issue either. New wave is the skier, not the ski.

Are the wet plus still easy to butter and throw around? I’m 6’2 165lb. I heard they’re making a 191 wet next season and I want maximum butter ability but the versatility of a little stiffer flex sounds appealing. Wet or wet plus?

I'm 5'7" and around 10 lb lighter than you. Buttering hasn't been an issue since a lot of the butteryness comes from the rocker profile. If I had the money, I'd buy a pair of both since a softer ski would be more fun for fucking around on small features but I've never regretted going with the plus.

Heard about lots of people having fun on the Reckoner 102s.
