so i live in gunnison, about a half hour away from the epic mountian that is crested butte.i ski about 100 days a year, im 6'2 and about 150-160.

yesterday, i walked into my shop that does most of my ski work for me, and they offered to sell me their new arg's for 415 bucks. should i do it?

im pretty sure i should, i just need re assurance.

judging by you quiver already then yes, absolutely. looks like you already got ar5s for urban/rock skis, pipe cleaners for park and groomers, ants for all mtn charging/ not fresh days. args would round out the quiver perfectly for deep days.

DO IT!

Do it. If it's not deep enough, you can use your ANTs. ARGs are wicked, and if you ski 100 days a year you'll have more than enough opporunties to use them.

Cop the ARG's.  Might wanna get a binding with a wider screw pattern but I dunno a whole lot about that, ask somebody like nomensteven or xavier.

Tanner has unlimited resources, better to go with a px than risking your skis...in response to the thread creator: DO IT!

porters tahoe has these available for 377. or had them, not sure how many pairs are left. I really hate that I paid 800 for mine 2 years ago, but nothing I can do about that now.

Chris FKS would be fine, you know they would since you have like 5 skis with them.  Everyone is going to say they rip out but in your how many thousands of days skiing have ripped one out?

As for the ARG's go for it bro!  Then let me try them!  You can always sell those ANT's if you think your quiver is too big.
