I''m headed out to Utah for a few weeks and all i got right now is salmon 1080 migul. I can buy thr Armada ARV form my friend for about $300-350. He only has 185 cm and I was wondering if that would be too big for someone my size (5'8 140lbs) I've been riding on 170cm the last two years and I wondering if the 15 cm jump would be too big.

hmm.... well i'm 5'10 and i ride the 185 PR and they're fine for me... but then the ARV is a toally different ski. Never thought i might say this but i think they could be a tad long for you. BUT having said that you'll prolly adjust and never want to go back and for $300 you really cant say no

I suppose the question you want to ask yourself is how good a skier are you?

if his you rfriend then get why cant you just test them and see if it works outt for you, thats what i'd do cause they sound a little too long, but no reason not to give em a chance...

buy em. If you're in utah, you'll need the length for cliffs and pow. If they don't work just put them on ebay and you still make money.

I ride them and I am about 6 feet. They are a amazing ski and they go absolutely anywhere. As long as you charge I am sure you can handle them

im 5'9'' and ride the 179 pistols, and 6cm isnt too much more than that, but the ARV is a stiffer ski. As said above, as long as you rip you'll be fine. But if you plan on using them in the park at all I think you're hooped. 140lbs is pretty damn light for that big a ski.






I feel bad for people who don't drink, cause when they wake up in the morning, thats the best the're going to feel all day

Their skis measure pretty long too, i might wanna add to this heated debate... by long i mean that a 185cm with really be 185 long... which would make logical sense...
