What's good NS
Basically I have the opportunity to get either of these skis for the same price, (but I'd have to wait till december 21st for the JJs) and I don't really have experience with either of them. I'm looking for a ski to replace my old surface one life's, which were fun but not suited to my style much anymore. I'm not sure how either of these skis feel, and I'm looking for one that would be a playful pow day shredder, but can still hold it's own on the occasional charge or on piste rip. Really if any of you guys could tell me a bit how you feel about the skis if you own them that would be great, especially the inthayne because I can't find much on it anywhere. Thanks homies

One of my homies just got the Inthayne and they seem pretty sick, full rocker goodness all around. In terms of what you are looking for in a ski I would go for the ARV 116 as it is more playful than the Inthayne and would be able to handle the occasional piste rip. Wouldn't be as good in variable conditions as the Inthayne though. Then again I haven't had much experience with the skis just word of mouth.

I personally haven't ever ridden the inthayne but they look like a super fun ski. i own a pair of the JJ zeros and I just got a pair of the ARV 116 as well. The JJ have been a awesome ski for me and have handled most anything I've thrown at them super well.

Hey that's me:)


OP I don't have any days on the Inthayne, but it's basically a Renegade with a turned up tail. I think its gonna perform better than the Renegade tho.
I have always skied on fatter skis, so I'll be kinda used to that when I hop on em, but I've heard a few people here and there say the Inthaynes are only good in pow, but MOST people say they are good on anything that you can sink and edge into. Which is fine by me, that's all I really expect my pow skis to do.

if you want an inthayne, better hurry quick, only a few in each color left in stock.

The Inthaynes are stiff, especially the tail. Made for stomping, the nose isn't super stiff nor soft, you can flex it, but it is snappy.

overall, the arv 116 is gonna be more playful.

both are good, sick skis. Lemme know if you have any more questions on the inthayne. I'll try to do my best.

I think I'd prefer the butteryness of the JJs but its definitely reassuring to know that if I can't resist the time wait and pull the trigger on the inthaynes then I'll still be on a solid ski. Thanks fam!
