Trying to figure between the two

I basically ride snowdomes 90% of the time (so mostly rails) with the odd week to Europe thrown in where I’ll hit the park a couple of afternoons
These are going to be purely park skis (I have ct2.0s for all mountain riding) so just need them rated as a centre mounted park ski

Anybody who’s ridden either ski, any input would be great or just general reviews on your experiences

Pick a unit, geeeez. I'd go with the TWall, it's a little softer and a little shorter but that's probably good in a snowdome where you can't carry a ton of speed.

Aha apologies, I like to mix it up a little. Out of interest do you own either ski? Just asking as I’d probably be mounting at true centre and just wondering how either ski feels there (I can’t find the recommended mount for the ar8 anywhere)

I'm currently riding on the Armada zero Arv8 from 2018, and I can't really say anything bad about them. They'e not only dope looking, but they're also dope to ski on.

They handle well, and they feel very comfortable while railing and during rotations. The flex is good, compared to the Arv96 they feel stiffer, but its still a playfull ski (althought I liked the Arv96 flex more).

Mine are mounted in the center, just like any other ski that I ever owned. I've mostly used them on indoor slopes (one time a week), and also one week in Mayrhofen last season. They feel reliable both indoor and outdoor.

It's just a dope ski

AR8 will be a more poppy ski with the extra camber, with the Twalls having slight rocker in the tip and tails and a little more flex.

Both feel great on rails, but overall I would choose the ARV96 because I've enjoyed them more because of their flex.
