Had a pair of arv 86's this season and just haven't gelled with them, felt a bit too serious for me, looking for some skis basically just for messing about, doing fun stuff, some light park riding, trying to work towards a more swervy style, and maybe a bit of all-mtn, thinking maybe blends, chronic 101's, revolt 90, still not properly settled on anything yet though. I'm 6ft 4in btw, kind of a decentish skier, (fuckin dogshit in the park but trying to improve) cheers.

Check out the J Skis Vacation. 104 underfoot, playful, surfy, and they come in a 186cm.

189 vishnu wide is swervy but decently stable unless you're dropping huge cliffs and shit

2nd rec for J skis Vacation. I'm also 6'4 on 186 and I love them, they are the most used ski in my quiver. If you weigh more than 180 lbs I may suggest something a bit stiffer tho

Sounds like the Salomon Depart could be a sweet option. Super buttery but still enough backbone to her. Its incredibly jibby and loves sidehits and quick transitions.
