I can't find much on how well these skis ski park. Its the same build as the Al dante just with the titnal. Does any one own these?

they'll be great, theyre just the arv/dente shape but stiffer and damper. i skied ARVs in the park for years and loved them, but always wished they were stiffer and had a little nose rocker. et voila

I bought a pair I will post a review as soon as i ski them! I feel like they should do well especially if your like me and like a stiffer ski.

There sick for park but if you're a light skier they might be a little tough in spots.

The ARVti is literally identical to the al dente, except that it has a layer of metal. So i would say that if you can take the stiffness, they would be a blast

First day out on them today and ski is a 5/5 it absolutly slays everything. Groomers, bumps trees and park. Very nimble and lighter than I expected. They are also more playful than I expected. I did a couple of slow flat land nose butters 3 and they were still flowly and not forced. ski carves like no midfat ski I have ever scene to.

Ha, I just rode these today actually. I'm 5'5" 120lbs, rode 168s.

I'd say they're fine for park. For having metal in them I thought they were soft. Not hard to ski at all. They turned pretty nicely and went edge to edge nicely. I think I've ridden livelier feeling skis, but these have some pop and I liked them regardless.

Ha didn't read the last reply...

But yeah. As op has found, like I did, they're capable all mountain/park skis.
