Any thoughts on which would be a better buy? I live on the East Coast and ski about 80-90% park.

What about:

- Your height
- Your weight
- What you ski most of the time (or break it down into percentages as that seems to be a popular way of doing it on here)
- Your skiing ability level

well at 80-90% park i wouldgo with a ski like the Tammer Hall pro model, the 4Frnt STL,line anthems, or simon dumont pros . however out of thoes two i could go with the AR6, sick ski from a sick company

someone described the addicts flex to me as similar to ar5s so both of those skis should be pretty similar but id say the addicts are just that much hotter

Does anybody know what the swing weight is for the Addict? Is it heavier or lighter than the STL's swing weight?

addicts's graphics are not even on the same playing field as the ar6, but as for what you described i think the ski you should be compairing to the addict is the thalls.

ive ridden the addicts..i did for three weeks over the summer, and they hold up nice and can ski the ice and the sluch and everything in the middle..the center mount makes them dope..i have one mounted one way and the other the other way..they look sick and they ski better then anything i have ever used

so you guys are saying the AR6 will probably be stiffer and better for all mountain than the addict?

Yeah, thats getting really out of control. Freeskier's usually right, but lets give it a little time.

didnt need to ski them to see which one was a better ski, like I said no question. The construction of the new ARMADA's is soooooooo good, ar5's were nice skis but the ar6's are rediculously strong.

ive ridden both (ar6 only once) I would personally go with the addict, dont get me wrong the ar6 is a great ski, but the addict is amazing in the park and holds it own outside the park

I didnt need to ski to know I wouldnt like it, and the three two week old pairs that were falling apart was good enough info for me

Fischer is going to be far more durable and it will be a little stiffer so you can ski it outside the park if you really wanted. WAY CHEAPER cheapest twin tip you can get......
