Armada ARVti the ski for me?

Looking into these. I ski at a small hill in the Midwest. I've always skied park skis that were 85-90mm waist and full camber. Not sure how a 100 waist and the slight nose rocker will feel. I'm 6ft 4in 220 so I feel like I could really enjoy a bigger ski. I have read these are essentially a stiffer version of the al dente, and that the al dente is very soft. Looking for a ski I can rip around on that carves nicely but can still butter and mess around. Is the ARVti a good choice for me? Thanks for feedback.

Bump. Nobody can give any feedback on these? I'm really worried they will be too stiff to butter and play around on. But I'm a bigger dude so I don't want a ski that is too soft either. What are your experiences?

Never skied them but the dimensions and description remind me of the obsethed from a couple years ago. Its probably a good ski for your size but maybe too much ski for your mountains. If you just want a park ski maybe look elsewhere for something narrower.

I'm 6'2 155 and ski the 188 Ti mounted -2.5 with a P14. I love it. its my all mountain everyday ski. sometimes I find it a bit big when things get tight but you're a bit bigger than me so I think you would handle the size just fine. Great carving ski for sure though the 19.5m radius might take some getting use to.
And yes the TI is pressed in the same mod as the Dente.
Hope that helps!

The skis are awesome, the ti inlay makes the skis nice and firm for sending it all moutain and in the trees, however they are super light and the tips and tails butter nicely, the rocker helps when it snows which is really nice and the camber is sweet for turning thru stuff, as a park ski it works, with center mount you can definitly trust in them, definitley more of an all mountain but is light and strong for park.

rode a pair of these on morning recently, it was at alta so i can't comment on how they do in the park but as an all mountain ripper they were sweet, super stiff and fun to carve
