^^i agree. the p4's i think are a bit too wide for park, etc. the ARV is an amazing all-mountain ski...originally i used them mostly for powder, then i broke my jib skis so i use them for everything now, urban included. the p4's do look way sick though. i'm hoping to get a pair for my new powder skis.

How hard do you ski, you are kinda light, but ARV is floppy compared to the BC, overall the BC is a better ski, dunno about the P4.

For your weight and given the fact that you lean more towards the park (wait, I'm assuming that, you didn't say it), the Rossi will be a better ski for you.
Regardless of my assumption about the magnetic attraction that the park has on you, here are my thoughts: The P4's performance leans more towards big mountain skiing than the BC. The BC is a bit more nimble and given your weight, will be less effort to ski (less effort = more fun). Not that the P4 is a monster, but definitely more of a big turn, haul ass, deep snow ski IMO, particularly in the 191 length. The rossi is a bit more versatile and will definitely be more fun in the park.
Not that it matters, but I own both the BC and the P4 and ski them both regularly (skied the P4s yesterday, in fact.)

well, im 6'2 and 145 and im looking at a mid fat ski, ive done a lot of work and the asumption that i have come to is this, i would most like to have the arv, it has mad pop and is just a sweet looking ski in genral, keep in mind im looking for a mid range ski as well, my second choce is the bc because it is quite heavy and for what its worth doesent look as cool. a lot of people are getting bouth of those skis this year, and i know a ton of guys who absolutely loved the bc. one of the kids i rede with named adam nails 1080s on them, he is trying to get armadas this year though. for what its worth as well, the binding im putting on what i get is a fks 155. of the 2 you mentioned, go BC.

i'm 5-10 160 lbs, and the only way to go is the p4, after rocking p3's last year, i got a pair of p4's. Scott skis are really good for skiing fast, and as far as skiing in the park goes, really fat skis are really stable on big jumps, they're just not by any means a good rail ski. Scott's have better bases, and a stronger construction thatn any rossi ski, period.
