I'm currently riding Targhee, but will be moving back east for the next 4 years for college, and I need something skinnier than my black ops. I'm a type 3+ skier that likes to charge fast and jump off of everything I can find, but I also enjoy tight trees, and park laps. I'll probably be doing more trees, bumps and park laps on these skis, given the move back east. I am 6'2" and 180lbs.

I'm currently riding the rossi black ops, and the moment exit worlds, and love both those skis, but would like something a tad softer for some dank butters. I'm currently looking at the armada arv 96, the sego big horn 96, and the sego hamm.

Thanks my dudes

I’d say look at Salomon Rocker2, 4FRNT Vandal, Völkl Revolt 95, ON3P Kartel 98s, Armada ARV 96, Line Blend, and K2 Shreditors. I have K2 Domains which I got for a steal. I’m using them everywhere but I’m in the park 90% of the time and honestly they’re horrible out of the park. I’m just poor as fuck lol. If you spend most of your time in the park they’re a great option, cheap, super flexible, and made for jibbing with its rocker profile. You can get them new with Attack 13s SHIPPED for $360 off of eBay. You could maybe pick them up and some other cheaper All MTN or groomer skis for the same price as ARV 96s.


EDIT: This is where I got the Domains with the Attack 13s. Shipping took like 5-6 days to Wisconsin. Not sure what I’d recommend for cheaper all MTN skis to go with them tbh.

EDIT: Just realized that they’re gonna probably be way too small for you. I got the 179s and I’m 5’11”. Sorry lol.

I just got the ARVs recently been on them 3 times now, and they are a blast! I'm pretty similar in skier type and intended use for the skis. I have had a lot of fun on them. Able to be real playful all over the mountain between charging, jumps, butters... seems like they can handle anything. I can't speak on durability since I just got them but they sure do look cool. The colors look even better in person against the white, I've gotten compliments on them every time I've been out!
