Replying to ARV 106 or Bent Chetlers 100?
Hey guys,
The title says it all.
I decide between these two pairs of skis. I'll have them for ski touring/freeriding (Europe - the snow is not THAT deep). I want a playful ski that will turn sharply (dense forests on my local mountain) and manage day trips. I have read a few articles but I want to know some personal experience. With the ARV´s, I'm afraid that they will feel heavy and they won't want to turn around, on the contrary, with the Atomics, I'm not sure of its playfulness in deeper snow and whether the ski is too hard. I just want a snappy ski that I can fool around, do shifties easily, jib side hits, flip them in the backcountry etc. you get it.
Both of them would be surely 188 cm long. I am about 183 cm and weight 75 kg.
I now have 2016 TST´s 192 for backcountry and they feel so heavy and boring and I do not like them anymore. And yes, they are long as hell.
If there is anyone with some personal experience who can compare these two it would be so helpful!
Thanks in advance guys.
