  1. You said it fit between the two sizes of the old Line S.F.Bacon, but actually you measured this ski at 187cm and the 190 SFB at 188cm, so only one centimeter shorter.

  2. I just test rode this Ski afainst my belived Kästle XX twintip. After a few compare runs on a alp glacier at 3300 m above sea level I quickly realised what a great ski this is for all conditions all terrain. My Kästles stayed in the glacier station and then in the car as we travelled to ither mountains. I then tested the ARV 106 on my lical 1400m high mountain with lots of trees, knee deep fresh pow and wide fields. It held the edge on ice, it floated above snow easily letting me concentrate on other things and it was especially pleasant to jump on small kickers, I never did a grab this easily in my Kästles and thise are lighter and stiffer. I will buy this Ski (and one from Amplid), mount a Tyrolia or Look on it, buy shorter poles and enjoy the rest of the season. I do recommend this ski.

  3. How does the ARV 106 compare to the J Skis Metal? Very similar dimensions and mount point – how similar / different are they on the snow?
