the new ARV is a sweet fucking ski - light as hell, its like an AR5 for big boys in the park. don't know anything about the chronic wides, but the chronics i skied last season were a pretty damn good ski as well.

seth pistols. it can do all the things u want, and still ski in the bumps quite well, even tho its hella wide. not sure about the vicious, but im sure they could handle the bumps also....

ARVs are a better all around ski, and they're made by Atomic so you know they'll handle well all mountain.

yea, the arv's are sick all mountian. they have beta technology and integrated ski and binding system on them. theyre actually called tweaks, but people started calling them arv's for fun.

id say arv's. they look better, theyre not lines, and theyre a solid offering this year. big waist, good for rocking the deep, but not too big for east coast stuff. although youll have to get a new username...is it worth it?

I believe Atomic presses them. Armada outsources ski assembly to Elan and Atomic.

The ARVs are a little more flexy this year. I don't know if thats what you want. I always recommend ARV's, but in your case I'd probably go with the chron wide.
