Skis like the arv 96?

So, new seasons coming up. I have been riding the arv 96 as my one ski quiver, but got my hands on a pair of kartels 108 this summer and plan to get rid of the arv 96. Basically looking for one a bit narrower than the 96 for park/all mtn. Any suggestions appreciated! (or should I just go for the 86?)
 
The Volkl Revolt is a great ski and comes in an 85 waist I believe. As well, the older Moment Vice has a waist of 83 and a similar flex pattern. The revolts will be a bit stiffer than the armadas and the Vices will be a touch softer. There are plenty of more options but these two may be worth taking a look at.

86. Good mix of widths.

yea, been thinking about that too. Since I enjoyed ridinig the 96, 86 should more or less be the same I assume haha.

Thanks for the input! I'm looking at the revolt as well as line chronics (hopefully can find a new old model). Any idea on how line skis are?

Out of personal opinion, i haven't had too many good experiences on line skis. Their 2012-2016 skis had some problems in the pressing process and delamed pretty easily. idk about any newer ones tho. I mainly ride on3p, moment, and icelantic rn.

Yea, that's one of my concerns too. But seems they have improved recently? Which skis would you recommend from moment/icelantic about 90mm width?

As I said before, moment vice is a great choice. Icelantic doesn’t have to many Skis that size and their Nomad 95s are pretty close to the arvs. Is there a Nomad 85?

I can't seem to find vice on their site. Is it discontinued or name changed?

I personally love these, they’re 86cm and can’t beat the sale price. Plus they are fun as hell...
