Sup NS. Eventually I want to pick up some 2015 ARVti's once my other sticks kick the bucket. I talked the dude at one of the shops I go to and he said they're a pretty sweet ski. Anyone here personally have any experience with the ARV's or even last years model?

Well i know they were what dollo used to ride and have heard they are like a softer version of the ar7s... Pretty sure they got redesigned recently tho so not too sure

i LOVE the ARVS and had two pairs. i thought they were perfect for what they were except i always wished they were a little stiffer and had a little early rise....boom out come the arvTIs. i can't praise the ARVS enough, theyre my favorite all around ski ive ever skied, and these seem like a natural progression for them

My friend has them and they absolutely rip anything on the mountain, weather its groomers, trees, or powder. According to him it is not the greatest park ski and swing weight isn't that good. If you are looking for an all mountain ripper, this is your ski. If your looking for more of a hubby park ski, check out the ar7's.

Yeah, holding the ski in person..it did seem like it would lack a tad in the park department, which is kinda sad to hear since I really enjoy park. I was also looking into the ar7's as well. Maybe I'll give those a shot and keep em on the backburner as an option.

arvti is just an al dente with metal in the construction to make it a tad stiffer if that helps you. great ski imo

This is exactly what it is. Just the same specs and shape of Al dente(a park/all Mtn ski) with titanium running through it. ARVti, ti stands for titanium. So I doubt its that bad of a park ski since the Al dente(softer version) is ridden in the park quite often. Al dente has good specs for all MTn, but is super soft, thus the creation of the stiffer version, the ARVti. It's a solid ski and would be a good idea.
