So i'm getting older and doing less park. I want a fun ski but something stable for summit county. thoughts on the slat or an edollo? think 50/50 park to mountain. I also want something pretty durable and not a ton of swing weight. Thanks!

the dollo is just the arv96 except even softer so in this case you should be considering ARVs not dollos. i love ARVs but hear great things about slats all the time. can't go wrong either way on that

there are some other really well-regarded mid 90s all mtn skis out there though, it's worth checking around to see what costs what

The edollo is in a nut shell just an arv 96 but thats boiling it down, alot, alot. Either way OP both are good skis but I must say, slats are VERY underrated. You might want to look into the new rossi black ops 98.

as long as you arent a super lightweight I would recommend the arv 106 for your needs
that ski can literally do anything
dollo/al dente is super fun and can ski anything but the added stability on the 106 makes it a true all mountain killer

Dollos are sick Everyone says their "soft" it's stiff underfoot and tail with a soft tip it holds up great on jumps. and isn't too shabby in pow.
