Was wondering which ski i should get out of the 3. I'm looking for something playful and has a lot of flex. (But theses are my only 3 options because I have store credit and this is what they got.) figured Someone would be able lead me in the right direction. I'm a intermediate park skier I hit small/medium rails and medium jumps looking to advance next szn.

If you want a lot of flex go w the Dollo it’s a stupid fun ski. Just don’t expect it to perform super solid all over the mountain. The ARV 96 is a good compromise, not quite as soft but still soft enough and it can ski the rest of the mountain pretty well too. Can’t speak on the Helix

right, arv and dollo are basically the same ski except for the flex, dollo more geared to park and arv a bit more geared toward all mtn. great tried and true do-it-all shape on both those skis

can't comment on the Libertys, sorry

this might have been clear already but i'm a huge fan of the ARV, have been for years. i have skied countless park/all mtn skis over the past 20 years and the ARVs are my go-to recommendation for a do-it-all park ski. i just got a new pair for myself in fact, albeit the metal version

so what i'm trying to say is you're set dude, being limited to those choices is NOT a bad situation at all :)

since you said you particularly want something playful with lots of flex, i say go with the dollos. absolutely top shelf choice for what you want
