zmvnkI mean what kinda profile are you looking for? Rocker camber? And are you looking for something more stiff or softer?
zmvnkWord so out of that list the bdog and the Vishnu are going to be a little softer. I have ridden the wets they are soft and playful. I have not ridden the wet plus and have a pair of this year's on the way. The arv 96 is going to be a little stiffer and 2mm wider then bdogs but similar profile. My buddy who doesn't ski park broke a pair of rippah like 3rd day on um so not there best park ski. The poacher isn't on ur list but will be very similar to arv just maybe a little stiffer. The edollo Profile is rocker camber and 98mm underfoot. If I where you I'd shop poacher, bdog and Vishnu plus and which ever you can get cheaper snag. If you want a ski that's a little wider like 100mm underfoot I've always been a huge fan of the line blends. Mad flex and the butter zones are mad fun. All are really solid skis and I don't think you will be disappointed.

westcoastskier69Also haha i forgot to mention I know the edollos were an exception to my rocker camber rocker wants. I thought they might be a bit better on the jumps than the pluses or bdogs because of the tail but have that fun nose for buttering. Has anyone ridden the edollo and has some thoughts on it comparing to these others?
zmvnkI've ridden both the edollo and bdog and honestly I like the bdog better. They are both playful but really enjoy the rocker camber rocker profile. And as far as jumps go they felt solid to me. As far as size for the arc I'd go 184. The rocker profile will make it ski shorter. I'm 5'9 and 150lb and ski 181-186. Feels more solid and can really get over it for fun long butters.
zmvnkAlso the poachers will break in they start off pretty stiff with the carbon In the nose and tail. And you can find them for a steal on Evo right now
westcoastskier69im looking for a ski in the medium flex rocker camber rocker that is versatile enough to utilize the whole park
westcoastskier69The ARV 96 seem super versatile but the sizes throw me off; i'm 5'9 and dont know if i should look for it in 177 or 184.
SofaKingSicki say ARV96. 5'9" is like 175cm so the 177 would be great, and they are pretty reasonably priced. great do-it-all park ski with a solidly medium flex. i say poachers if you want above average stiffness
