If you want a more durable ski then go with the Kartels

You'll like either. Just get whatever one you can find a good deal on.

No need to make a new thread. You can just bump this thread: https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/862809/Moving-out-west-don-t-know-what-ski-to-buy-
And post your thoughts are now looking at the Kartel 108 or ARV 106.

That way people have some context and can help guide your decision making process.

You needn't apologize to me. I'm simply trying to make your request more coherent. The other thread has information relevant to your decision and this thread simply says "what to buy" between two skis.

There is a sticky at the top of gear talk: https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/543628/How-to-ask-for-ski-advice-
You should read through and loosely base your "what ski" threads on to make things easier. Also experience with different skis in the past and what you have or have not liekd about them is helpful.

The kartel is much more firm from what I’ve read and if you do any sort of charging I feel the kartel would be a much better choice especially with the Sierra cement

This thread is aids. scroll through the first two pages of gear talk and find everything you'll need to know about both skis (including a comparison).
