Should I do it

Have a pair of used arv 116 ul and I im tempted to cop a pair of those green pivots and put them on there for park riding. I know it might be a waste but they're super light and seem really fun, worried about them holding me back on rails obviously but would it not matter because theyre so light? And how long would they last?

Keep in mine that a lot of powder skis, ESPECIALLY touring pow skis, have a much smaller and less beefy edge in order to save weight (not to mention Armada doesnt envision someone skiing 116 ULs to be bashing edges on rails all day). The ARV 116 ULs have a 1.7mm edge, whereas a ski like the Edollo has a 2.5mm edge. The ULs were designed for powder and for touring, the Edollos were designed with park in mind. Not saying dont do it, but something to consider durability wise.

You're not wrong, the setup sounds super fun. You will absolutely destroy them quickly...

Yep that will be a ton of fun!

But the longevity of said set up will be compromised if you are smashing rails all day.
