ARV 106 reviews

2018 is the same as 2017, just a new topsheet.

I love the ski, has that playful park oriented style to it but a much longer turning radius than say the ARV 96 so it can charge big mtn terrain extremely well. I've never had it fold up or wash out at high speeds on steep terrain like other similar skis. Mine is mounted at the -2.5cm line and I highly recommend it, the next line further back on the ski doesn't sit on the sweet spot of the camber profile as well.

I went -1 of true center. Skis forward and switch great. Id say anywhere between -1 and -2.5 will be good

Pardon me for me newbiness about big mountain skiing, but what is the benefit of a long turn radius for a charger ski? Just more stability? Obviously the advantages of small turn radius in the park are pretty self explanatory. ..

That sounds pretty solid thanks man.
I think the 2018 is supposed to be stiffer this year do u think that would be an improvment?

its more of a preference thing than anything. I personally like the longer turning radius as it draws out the turns longer which coincides with fast charging skiing very well. However some like a short turn radius when it gets steep so they can initiate turns a little quicker when things get dicey. It’s all preference.

the 2018 is exactly the same as the 2017, trust me. However, Evo has a collab coming out in December and there will be a ARV106Ti that has a sheet of titanal for added stiffness for even better charging qualities. I think both versions will still be very relevant, just with the Ti version able to hold up better when say, hucking steep cliffs to chalky conditions.
