Are this seasons ARV line, specifically the 96s, different from last years? I've heard they are less park orientated this year.

No, the arv is their park/ freestyle ski line. Don’t think they changed it. Still think it is the same since it released

The line has been updated. They were stiffened up somewhere around 19/20 but were not changed from last year to this as far as I know.

Didn't the 106 change this year or was that last year? I'm sure the 86, 96 and JJ are the same

106 changed last year. Stiffer, heavier, with smear tech added. No changes this year.

Whitewalker stayed the same according to Armadas customer service. I was confused as the flex this season is different to the season before. Apparently they just changed their flex rating scale.

I saw this too!
did they still the same softness as prior? Or are they becoming more all mountain snow crushers than park skis?

Since Amer took over they changed the arv a bit. The past two seasons (20/21 and 21/22) nothing has changed. I miss the days of the AR50 sidewall that shit hit different

Yeah I got an old ARV 86 wondering if the 22 ARV 96 is worth upgrading to cuz I want a wider ski for the park.
wondering if it can pretty much act as a park only ski.
