Park / all mountain options? Riding lots of park but still like charging the mountain and running through the trees.

extremely similar skis, and both are good picks for what you described. so just see which flex profile you think sounds like a better fit for you and pull the trigger and don't worry over it another second!

I personally own the edollo this season and for me the flex pattern is alittle weird compared to the arv. It’s not that it’s terrible it just takes some time to get used to. For me personally though I’m gonna be switching to the arv for next season just cause I want a more even flex thoughout the ski.

I've heard from a lot of people that the flex pattern is different haha I checked out the b dog's and the flex profile was more to my liking! Cheers brotha

From what I have heard, the edollo is a bit stiffer than the ARV line. I believe the BDogs are on the softer side. I have the 2018 ARV 106’s as my everyday ski, but the edge is a little thin. I don’t touch the park though.

I really enjoy the edollo. I have the al Dente zero version so the flex might be slightly different than the edollo. In my opinion the arv 86 is more of a soft classic camber park ski. The edollo has a strange flex pattern and more rocker.

After spending some time on the edollo I mich prefer it, but it does ski a bit odd (hard to describe).

Sounds like the ARV 96 would be a great choice. These skis are not overly rockered and have lots of sidewall so they lend themselves to charging. They are an NS fan favorite for sure.
