What's up NS? Just looking for a little help deciding between these two skis. I am 5'9, 150 pounds, ski about 80% Park, 20% make the rest of the hill a park. I've been riding on ON3P Filthys over the past few years and love them, just looking to get a wider park ski, more my style and would like to use it out of the park a little as well. I've narrowed my options down to the new Armada ARV 96 or the ON3P Kartel 98. I am able to get both of them for relatively the same price thanks to some homies, so that really isn't a factor. I just want to figure out which would suit me best. I would really appreciate any insight from anyone who has skied either of these.

Explain more about what you are looking for with a wider park ski - what do you enjoy more and want to progress with when it comes to your riding style?

I'd say my ski style is pretty flowy; butters, nollies, some switch ups but not often, spins off. As far as jumps go stylish corks and rodeos, but I want to keep upping my jump game so definitely want a lighter swing weight and a solid underfoot, but still playful tip and tail.

Don't get the ARV unless you want to go back 4 years and get a pair of the OG ARV.
