So I have narrowed my hunt to these two skis. I am looking for a wide park ski to rip up everything. I need a DURABlE ski to last two years. I have the same price on both so it really is a divid. Help me out!!!

The main difference on these skis is going to be flex. Want a stiff or buttery ski?

all the skis I have owned have been stiff so I am thinking of trying buttery. Will this affect my all mountain performance? I.e Bumps and groomers?

The AR7Ti has won more awards. Based upon that we can assume it is a better ski, but not necessarily a better ski for you. The blend seems like it would be a better ski for park, whereas the AR7Ti seems like it would be better for everything else. How much park skiing you actually do should influence your decision.

Yes a buttery ski will prove worse in those catagories than a stiffer ski. Also the arv has no tail rocker so it will have much more support coming from the tails.

If you are looking for a ski to push hard all over the mountain look at the ARV.

If you are looking for a ski to play around with all over the mountain the blend will be better.
