nope if i understand what you are aimin at, AR5s are not scratches. AR5s are Armadas. Rossi makes the scratches...

Tanner rode for rossi before he and JP started Armada. The AR5 was one of the first skis produced by Armada. The scratch and the ar5 had similar construction and dimensions.

seriously guys ar5 = scratch eco. 110-80-103 sidewall construction and full wood core. if you've never heard of ski companies copying molds for their skis, you are sorely mislead.
