Looking at some skis for next year usually ski trees pow and Bc. Ski some park but only about 10% of the time so not to concerned about the performance
Thanks in advance for any tips Also feel free to reccomend any other skis that may work for me
EDIT
I ski in the west (BC/AB) Very light somewhere in the low hundreds
mainly ski moguls trees and powder Price range is anything under 1k (cad) I would say I am a type 3 skier and want an aggresive but playful ski with a width of 90-100
Thanks again

I have a pair of the Kartel 98s from 3 years ago and absolutely love them. I ride them in the park (although I have a pair of Magnus for pure park days) and then in snow up to 6 inches or so. Unfortunately can't speak to the ARVs or Vandals but would 100% recommend the Kartels.

Also, the Kartels are basically bulletproof, my buddy ran them over in his Subaru. Skis were fine and his tire popped. Just saying.

How do the Kartels ski shorter or longer?

I'll tell you what ski you need, it's by a little known company that makes a few skis, very rare to find, honestly. This tiny company, they make the best skis all right, they hand craft them in the most American warehouse you'll find. Can you guess what ski I'm talking about??? No, you can't because they are so unknown to the unwashed masses, the "Jerry's" you see at "insert most generic ski resort".when you're out tearing up them groomers everybody's attention will be on you, in awe of your amazing skiing abilities and especially those fine looking skis! When you are in line to get on the gondi, the lifties will already have your skis loaded up for you, not because you're an actual bumbling retard but because they recognize your wisdom and talent just by looking at your skis. you must be on the edge of your seat with sweaty palms longing for the answer. What skis do you need, you ask?? Well the answer is simple, You need Rossignol Soul 7's.

They ski longer than you would expect for a ski with that much rocker (although I'm 5'7" 140lbs and ride a 176).

I'm 5'4" So I would probably get the 161 or what the size is in the 60's range
