Arv 86 is an excellent park ski, badgers are fine but a little lower shelf quality. Get the arv 86s unless there’s a big price difference and price is a primary concern for you, otherwise arv86 no question

From my experience the arv 86 is a little stiffer in the tips and tails and a little more stable underfoot. I've also heard a lot better things about the durability of the arv 86 vs the honey badger.

Also you could tell us a little about yourself. Like how and where you ski and stuff like that.
