What are the main differences BetweenThe EDollo and the Al Dente. The information on the Al Dente seems to be hard to find.

theyre almost identical just slightly different materials
the al dente is part of the zero series which uses higher quality lighter materials and a faster base

it's not the same ski haha. The al dente has extra carbon stringers give it an overall stiffer feel. It was meant to be more all mtn friendly than the edollo.

So the Zero Al Dente is basically a new ARVti? Or is it in between

The Al Dente was Henrik Harlaut's first promodel with Armada after Ninthward. they had the name Al Dente the seasons 2013-14. after that they named it the EDOLLO, to make it more clear. The Al Dente ZERO is the same as the EDOLLO but with a sheet of carbon fiber. not anything else.

The ARVti was an EDollo but with titanial laminates, carbon and kevlar stringers. Exact same ski otherwise (different graphics, obviously). That's why I'm asking for the Al Dente Zero.

ARVti was too stiff for most so no longer making it... even though it was the same size and dimensions as the dollo/dente its a totally different ski
To answer the original question again: the dente is a higher quality version of the dollo (almost identical flex but lighter and faster)

Exactly why I sold mine... It was a great ski but way too stiff for my liking.

The Al Dente was a ski for the 2014 and 2015 years it was B-Dogs and E-Dollo's pro ski but then B-Dog got a pro ski so instead of calling it the Al Dente they called it the E-Dollo so you have Phil's pro ski and Henrik's pro ski. Take notice to how Phil still rides the E-Dollo while I've never ever seen Henrik on the B-Dogs
