Like compared to something like the blends or vishnus. Are they soft enough to learn to butter on?

i rode arv 96s a few szns ago and i thought they were pretty soft. not as soft as vishnus, but u should be able to butter pretty easily compared to other stiffer skis like poachers

Definitely not as soft as blends or vishnus but def soft enough to butter yeah. They stiffened them up a few seasons ago but still they’re def not overly stiff skis
