omg i love them!!! i live out here in utah and they are awesome at alta in the powder but they are also good on the groomers at pc, they kinda suck on ice though but aren't horrible. they are soo soft and pretty light, i really like them.

I have the 04/05's and they are much much stiffer than the '06s... in fact the 06 arv is floppier than the 06 t-hall.

I don't know how good they are when they are that flexy. But, I guess thats personal preference.

That is due to the fact that the skis are not made for really agressive Powder. They are desinged to float but not really for charging hard. But i didnt think they felt bad at all in the shop. Nick

yeah they seem like soo much fun, i felt them in the shop and they are soft as hell, definatly softer than t-halls and probably a bit softer than invaders, i want them so bad. i just hope they dont change them next year so i can get them.

I have the '05s. Yea they are kinda soft but that is not how I would describe the flex. The way I would describe it is ORGASMIC. The new ARV's...seem way shittier. I need to try them though.

Yea AKFREERIDER summed it up perfectly. They ski exactly like you would imagine a fat park ski would. Oh, and I must say they are the shit on groomers. I can bomb at mach 10 switch on these bad bitches and mine aren't even center mounted.

i'm 6'2" 190 ish. I ride this years 185's. I love them. Tons of float in pow, great on the groomers, really light in the air. I actually thought they were going to be too soft for my liking but they definitely arn't. They kill riding switch. They are a little slow edge to edge but not that bad.
