Never thrown the Orbit Extreme, but I can vouch for the Avalanche's ability to handle dry. However, the Av Pearl starts up quicker and is smoother at the break than you might expect, so if the drier conditions that you see require you to play for more recovery, you might want to add a polished Avalanche Solid to your list of balls to consider.
