If you are 50/50, I would seriously consider the Armada ARV instead of the AR6. A little wider, a little more stable. Yes, they're soft, however I pinned a pair up to about 40mph and felt solid. They also just blast out of a turn.

any ski that isnt over 100mm under foot will be stable on groomers.. and any ski is a good pow ski, the fatter is just more effortless..and 80mm under foot like 5 years ago was considered a pow ski..

my friend has the bcs and he thinks they are too much for park ( i htink unless he changed his mind) and the ar6s will hold there own all mountain. so id go with the ar6s

Hit up the AR6 if you can get a deal like that, but I think you'd like the ARV better if you can find them cheap.
