So I hace decided that its time for some new skis, as my 04/05 PE's have seen better days. Im 6'2'' 170, and ski 20% groomers, 40% glades/powder and 40% park on the east coast. I have an open mind for opinions, and could really use the help. Money isnt a huge issue as I will be buying these off of ebay.

yeah, that's a tough one, they are all pretty much the same dimensions, but they are all buit differently. ARV is a wood core sidewall, blend is a wood core cap, and foil is a wood core cap. Depends on what you like I guess. In my opinion, I don't care for the foam core after demoing one, and the blend has extra carbon compared to the ARV.

yes, but, arv's are super soft, and blends are super stiff with lots of pop, so idk if they can be put together..
