Title says it all really, I'm considering both pairs - what do you all think?

The title does not say it all. Where are you going to be skiing, what kind of terrain do you like, do you have other skis, how big are you?

Living in Morzine in the french alps, this year's been shit for snow but usually we'll get a decent amount of snow (Not quite alaska or canada but a couple feet once every few weeks)
i do quite a lot of drops when the snow's good..
I was wondering how well the 2011 seths perform on piste?

the 2011 seths are a pow ski, they have rediculous rocker in the front.

the arv's dont have rocker and are not super wide

similar skis to the arv:
volkl bridge
rossi s3
liberty morphic
rossi s5
and millions more

Liking the volkl bridges there...
I knew the seths were a powder ski, but I was going to get them and just make do with them on piste (stupid idea but they are very pwetty)
I think I might go for the ARV's, if I get the money that is...

Ive had ARVs for three seasons now, and they are pretty much park skis, they are just called all mountain skis. I have JJs now for powder, and i use my ARVs for park.

yeah if u want a pow ski, then look into the armada jj's. most fun i have ever had is when i skied on those is CO. Arv wouldnt be good for your situation if u dont ski park. like someone said, theyre not very wide
