I'm torn between these and the AR6s. I like being all over the mountain including the steep chutes, but I still like spending plenty of time in the park. I know that the AR6s are great in the park and groomers but can they handle the upper mountain? Also, how do the these hold up in the park? Both are great all mountain skis from what I have heard.

I own both AR6 and ARV. For park rats that center mount an AR6 it will sink in the backcountry over 8 inches os snow. If u mount it -4 from true center it floats better but spins and switch riding degraded. So AR6 is all mtn for the east coast....ARV's are as wide as u want to go for the east but u there are even wider skis out in heli land. AR6 has a tough park base, ARv has a faster all mtn base. For pow chutes use an ARV and be nice to it in the park.
