The ARC is our standard flex designed for the skier in the middle to upper end of the suggested weight range for each ski size.

The ARC-S has a slightly softer flex from the front binding forward.  The softer front flex of the ARC-S allows the front of ski to create a tighter arc while the back of the ski maintains the speed of the standard ARC.  If you are looking to ride a larger ski for your height or you are on the lighter side for a particular size ski, we recommend you ride the ARC-S.   If you like the feel of the front of the ski finishing with more load, we recommend you ride the ARC-S.
