Hey,
Untill now, I've used PE's the last 2 years, AND I've been very happy with them! But, since I've done a lot of pow skiing the during the last year, I need a fatter ski, that handles pow better, but it still has to ski great on piste and park as well.
I'm 5'11 and weights 140 lbs!
I'd say I ski park/piste/pow like this: 20/40/40.
Hope you guys can help me out here! :D

karmas are the best all mountain twin on the market, if you can handle them go for it

well, I'm from Europe, so ARvs are quite rare over here.. :D
But lets say I picked the arvs or the seths.. Which size should I pick then??
More suggestions please, and if you can, please tell me the advantages of the given ski..

seth 179 arv you would have to choose 175 or 185s MSPs 180 and the karma 177

yeh ARV or seth's is ur best bet. Sizewise for a vicious get the 179, and ARV 185. since the vicious is so fat you dont need a really long ski plus its still gonna rip in the park. And the 185 ARV is perfect for you. I'd get the cheapest.

You should take the head mojo 90... these are fat and they are good both for riding and jibbing

well, if your looking for a big mountain ski, i recommend the k2 made n' ak's. It's a nice ride. Or the 2006 scratch bc, just as good if not better.

Depends on how hard you ski, I like the Karma and the ARV the most probably though.

Honestly dude out of all those skis you just mentioned Ive only heard awesome things about every single one of them
Personally, based on appearence and talking to people the seth vicous just because they are so badass of a ski and are bombproof
