depending on what size you need good luck finding them. and they arent gonna be significantly better for all mountain. they are stiffer. but still not an all mountain stiff.

My friends dad knows a fischer rep, and he asked the rep if they were still selling Addicts and he said about 90% of shops are sold out.  There extremely hard to find.

all of these will be fine in pow. but the whole fact that they have a waist somewhere around 85ish inhibits their being great in pow. the addicts are 84 and the ar6s are 86 so they will work fine but they arent gonna be a pair of gotamas or something that wide.

yes the AR6 are probably a good pow ski. the addics however depends on the underfoot.
