Poachers are more durable, but much stiffer. That's pretty much your decision right there.

You know when you go to a diner and get asked if you want your tea sweet or unsweet? This is pretty much that. Choose one and defend it with your life.

Both great choices, I like my arv 96s cause they got less rocker and i like being able to push em in a carve. Also mentioned poachers are a bit stiffer and more durable but i'm not one to break skis anyway

This. Demo’d a pair of poachers once, too stiff for me but solid ski.

I personally prefer poachers a bit stiffer and more durable and better in shit snow but the arvs are great skis just a little softer
