^based on size and the flex pattern on the skis you could control those better then the ARV

bullshit he is not to big for the ARV he is a toothpick. Sure he is 6'2" but he only weighs 165 An ARV would be a great allmountain ski.

Yea I am sure, but you don't need ANT's to ski fast. Not even close. An ARV or Moship would be a much better all mountain ski that you could not only bomb down chutes and huck big rock drops, but jib in the park as well.

Honestly it's a toss up. I was going to get the Flites earlier this season. But when they didn't come in I ended up with the ARV's. I don't regret it one bit. They are a sick pow ski that definitely do carve really well on groomers. They're soft but in the 185 length they handle anything pretty well. Neither ski is oging to carve icy conditions very well but the arv's do it well enough for me to be happy with them.

My opinion is kinda biased but if I were you i'd go with the 185 ARV

I'd definately recommend the new scratches as an all round everywhere ski. Get the 181s.

Good and stiff for splatting down mountains at a hundred miles an hour and a great park ski too! Also wider than the old ones at 84mm waists. Public Enemy and Karma good choices too.

I've got the 06 scratch BC, and they rock everything. they're stiff enough to do big mountain stuff, but still really light and easy to jump on.
I would get them if I were u
