Hello,

I’ve been wanting to buy a new pair of skis for the upcoming season and need help deciding. I have been leaning towards the Arv 96’s but am open for suggestion. I’m an experienced skier that just started getting into the park. I like to go on jumps and wanting to start trying rails too. I am 5’10 160lbs. What would be the best length for me?

Thank you!

Thanks man! Do you have any other ski recommendations or would those be the best fit? And 185 wouldn’t be too big for the park? Just want to make sure.

Op look at line chronic and TW pro as well. Both pretty good park skis and not crazy expensive.

i made a mistake the biggest arv 96 is 184 but I think 184 would be perfect

I’d go with the 177s especially if you’re not gonna grow height any more.

ive been skiing twps for the past few years and they've been amazing. the flex is a 10/10 and they're pretty light. i grinded my first rails and threw my first flips on those skis. would definitely recommend for someone wanting to get into park.

Okay awesome, I’m leaning towards the blend or the chronic right now. Many say you can’t go wrong with them but I know the blend are much softer and the chronic are more of an all around ski which is looking for.
