Im looking for an all mountain ski that can charge and ski pow but is also jibby for side hits and shit, I hit a lot of natty features but not a lot of park.
I live on the east coast but get about 3 trips out west and thought the Kartel 108 was to wide and heavy for ripping east coast, Jibing, and switching edges fast, but I need somthin less flexible than my shreditors will the ARV 106 in 188 fit the bill (I'm 6"3)

Just bought some ARV 106's. I can't comment on their performance, but they sure do look pretty cool sitting in my living room waiting for winter.

I love that ski... they kill it on pretty much everything
they do measure a bit short though... 188 actually measures 186

Sounds good, I was on 184s before so I guess it will feel alittle longer?

2cm wont be enough to feel anything, also I think they have some rocker anyway.
