Those are kind of dissimilar skis but I think they would both fit your specs and are both good skis.

Elizabeths man!  With your small size, they'lll give you plenty of float in the powder, but you'll still be able to rip them all over the mountain and in park.

ive owned both and arv's are mabye a little better for park. but lizzies are much more fun in the park and all mountain, they really do feel like snowboards and the flex is awesome. so get lizzies

If you've demoed them why are you asking us? You already know how they ride.

they are two very different skis. if you actually ski as much BC as you say you do, get elizabeths.
