Bent 100, bent 110, edollo, arv 106 or sir Francis bacon
Those are my final choices, I wanna ski 70% powder/all mountain and the rest park. I am a park begginer but I wanna ski freestyle so I would wanna go ski freeride and pow and do tricks there as well as in the park and on the piste/ side hits. I wanna ski them for 3-4 seasons. I want playful but able to ski powder skis. My height is 173 cm and I weight 60 kg/132 pounds. Please help me find my ski.
I’m in the same boat as you right now. Are you looking for a soft ski or a stiff one? The ones you named are all over the place. Demoed the SFBs yesterday and they felt almost softer than my Vishnus. On the other hand the ARV is going to be a stiffer option. Edollo is more of a park ski. I really like the Bent 110s but not a huge fan of the 100s as I don’t think the shape works very well on narrower skis. I’d recommend checking out the Dynastar MFree 108 too.

I think i narrowed it down to edollos or bent 100s and i really liked arv 96.

keep in mind the rocker profile on the bent puts it in a more directional ski category. It has zero tail rocker so it prefers to be mounted further back meaning it really isn't the most fun in the park. For your purposes you can't go wrong the ARV 96, that ski is quite awesome as a stiffer underfoot all mtn ski that is still super fun in the park.

The problem is arv 96 only has a 170 and 177 cm version i am 173 cm tall and a teenager, i expect to grow but 177 cm is maybe too long for me. Tho in the review it said the 177 cm version true length was 174 cm im still not sure if i should get them.

If you’re considering the 96 have you looked at the moment frankenski? It’s a 98 so it’s going to give you a little more width for pow. Still going to be lacking to something wider but it’s going to bomb the park.
I have bent 120’s and finally got to demo the 100 and 110 last month. I personally did not like the 100. It was a soft noodle for me and got pushed all over the place by the garbage conditions.
the 110 was a beast. Ate up everything. Really enjoyed it. I just don’t need a 110 ski atm.
