Just rent demos in Utah if you get a powder day, get the AR5's for every other day

maybe consider arv then? 90mm waist can still rock the park and such and handle the backcountry with no problems

dont get a powder ski if you mainly ski out west..AR5s rip EVERYWHERE and dont worry about the 1 or 2 weeks your in Utah dont sacrafice your regular skiing for 2 weeks out of the season..but the AR5s will do fine in the pow unless your over 150 lbs

I just got AR5s, and I'm finding the progressive mounting kinda wierd in powder. I'm leaning back alot more than I feel I should. They aren't the best powder ski out there.

They are AMAZING in park, like, they blow away everything else i've tried far away. On groomers they're fine, slush (we've had a bit here) they're fine, in bumps good. But Powder seems to be their weak point.
Without skiing we are just monkeys with car keys.
