Thoughts on which of these is a better backcountry/powder ski? Also strength of construction, does either ski break easily?

i'd go with MSPs handsdown
solid as hell, with burly reinforced sidecuts so you won't bend your edge in when you hit a rock.
also they are a bit stiffer which will help in BC or all mountain

It's really a win win situation.



Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Don't you have other things to do? Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Do you read everything you're supposed to read? Do you think everything you're supposed to think? Buy what you're told you should want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the opposite sex (or same sex if you prefer). Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic.
You have been warned…

I know it's a bit early this year, but every year somebody starts a thread about their goals for the season (that have to do with skiing, not fucking a cheerleader) and you know the rest.

the ARV is built specifically for the backcountry, while the MSP is built as an all mountain ski for everyone. go with the ARV, it is solid and sick.

Go with the MSP. It has proven itself last season and will continue to do so.
