Yeah, depends on where you’re skiing. My buddy who skis at Sunday River/Loon and spends 90% of his time in the park skis them as his only ski and he loves them. 16 isn’t that wide but obviously something like the ARV 96 would be quicker edge to edge and lighter, but the 106 offers a real stable platform for landings and butters

I think 96 width underfoot is the widest ski the pros do park width but i think you can still do park on a 106 armada. I bout the 106 tis and i plan to hit park on em at least

I enjoyed it, its a bit stiff for my taste but that just means park jumps will be more stompable
