Wanting a light, fun ski to use exclusively in the park- should be able to hit jumps, butter nicely, all around feel good in the park and in bounds. Bouncing mainly between ARV 86 and vishnu wet or wet + but I’m completely open to other options. Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?
 
feel like these are two very different skis haha. I know its a little wider then what you wanted but I think the chronic is good option here. Definetly should check out the roofbox on them. I feel like they fit so many people needs but are overlooked
 
Nomad 95. Might be a little more of the flexible side but the decent sized underfoot helps on jumps. Is your inbounds terrain sidecountry and glades, or groomers and ice?

The ARV 86 isn’t that much of a playful ski. You can butter it if you try hard enough. But it would be very good on jumps. Both skis are very different from each other and you would probably be happier find a ski that is more in between the two like what [tag=267196]@CarsonLentz[/tag] said.
 
These skis are complete polar opposites, the wet plus is prolly a better option. Got the Vishnu shape with some more support for jumps. The ARVs are the most bread and butter ski you can buy, they aren't bad but are definitely one of the most boring skis you can buy and ride.
 
both would suit your needs but i would say arv better for jumps and vishnus better for jibbing and buttering but not jumps as much.
