im thinking about getting an all mountain/good park ski. I’m a 17 year old intermediate to advanced skier that mostly skis on the east coast. Are the 4frnt vandal 2020s a good ski? Or the ARV 96s?

I had them the first year they came out .... they’re noodles but honestly we’re my favorite ski I’ve ever ridden and they were durable as all hell lasting me 2 and half seasons where other skis are lucky to last me 1. If you don’t mind probably the softest ski on the market (Id argue they’re just as soft if not softer than Vishnu’s from expierence) you’ll love them

vandals are softer all over, they have less camber vs the ARV 96 as well

the 184 arv and 186? 187? vandal are almst identical tip to tip measurment, the vandal is like 1cm longer.



The vandal has some early rise but very little, before tips arch up pretty fast, so longer running surface on edge, ARV has more traditional rocker/tips

vandal is a smidge wider.
