I have looked around and i think this is the ski i want for next year. It seems to be a great all mountain/park ski. i am 6 ft 150 and i want a ski thay can butter a little bit also be nice and stable while carving. i am new to park. do you think this will be a good ski for me? i can 270 off, 5, 3 and some other simple tricks
 
Some advice OP, don’t open 9 different threads essentially asking the same thing. That being said, it sounds like it’ll be a good fit for you
 
I just got the arv96ul, exact same ski but uses the tracer core instead for some weight reduction. From what I've been told their very similar skis except the regular 96 has more pop, and I can feel the POP on my UL so I bet the regular is bananas. I think at your height/ weight they will be more on the buttery side, but still quite stable for park/all mountain skis. I'm not sure how you'll interpret my stated comments, but I think they are a solid choice, sounds like a good fit for what you are looking for. They are super affordable too, especially right now; so unless you are willing to drop some cash on something like ON3Ps, these are the way to go.

No problem. Edollos are also a great ski, I definitely would not consider them an all mountain ski by any means, they are a considerable amount softer than the arv. If you go that route I would recommend having a separate all mountain ski if you want to keep ripping the trails.

okay
 
I’ve owned them for the last 2 seasons, primarily as an all mountain ski but starting to get into a fair bit of park as well. Can’t say much about its performance as a park ski cause I’m shit and haven’t really skied much else in the category yet but feels really solid at high speed for what it is, but also a super fun ski to chill and mess around on, I’ve skied on k2 poachers and line chronics as well and with respect to all mountain performance as a fun ski that also rips it’s definitely my favourite
