I’m planning on buying the new arv 96 and I just want to see if anyone has good or bad experience with them or other recommendations before or buy

I see you live in BC. May I ask why not the 106?

We really only have few powder days a year and I’ve skied 96 skis before and they do just fine for me doing park and fresh snow whenever we have it.

google site:newschoolers.com + arv 96 and you'll see countless positive mentions of them; super well liked ski

im one of its biggest fans and have skied them on and off in different versions for more than ten years. super good all around ski, wish it was a little stiffer but oh well (and now the TI version is back for people like me who love it but want more stiffness)

happy to answer any specific questions, but if your question is just "are they good" short answer is YES (long answer is YESSSSSS)

Had 2 pairs so far and it's the best park ski I've had, first year I had some durability issues but my current skis are good for this season. Only performance issue is the noses can be a bit unstable if you're hauling into a jump.
