Currently sitting on some Kartel 96s (181) that i just feel are a little too skinny and rockered for my liking so I'm gonna replace them this year.

5'9" 160lbs. 70/30 All mountain / park in resort for the ARVs in a 180 (2021 for the new topsheet) and 70/30 resort / tour for the Bentchetlers I think (184).

Good idea or bad? I spend too much time thinking about these things... Looking for that super playful relaxed skiing feel. Not a big charger, very jib friendly. West coast / interior BC skiing exclusively.

I have this exact setup 19/20 line. Shifts on the chetlers and STH16 on the ARV106 - is a killer

ARV 106 for 20/21 looks like its getting updates to be more all mountain than playful. Longer sidecut, stiffer and heavier according to the catalog. Not sure if anything changes about the rocker profile, but thought it was worth mentioning since youre wanting playfulness.

Good to consider. Thanks for the heads up! All I could find was the new pin shape and smear tech additions.
