I am having a very hard time deciding wether to pick up a pair of 185 armada arv's I can get a really good deal on them but I'm worried they might be too big of a ski for the east coast. I am 6'2 180 pounds and i ride 60 percent park and 40 percent all mountain. If i don't get these skis i will probably pick up a pair of ar7's. Do u think 185 arv is to much ski for me?

I am a very strong skier outside the park I'm more worried about not being able to excel with the ski in the park because of its size

I use the 179 Bluehouse MR which has almost the same stats as the 175 ARV and it does perfectly fine in the park and all-mountain. You should have no problem slaying it with the ARV.

idk if this information still matters to you but I think they'll be great for you. I'm 6' even and 175 and I rode 188 moment tahoes with a 96 underfoot in the park and really loved them. arguably more than my AR6s.. the lenght and with was great for jumps, and rails and boxes were no problem

I am thinking of getting a pair too and I am curious how well they carve compared to king fujas.

Sorry about autoplay, but there's the product vid. Also check out Henrik's "Day in the Life" because he is riding the new ones in that edit. I personally love them for everywhere and they are kickass. Such an underrated ski. Carves super well, floats in little bit of pow, and super soft tip to butter in the park.
