selling my chronics because i need something with a slightly larger waist. i dont like to make new skis a huge deal on here, so i decided either scratch fs wrs or ar6. similar dimensions, ar6 an 86 waist, wrs an 84 waist. ill be skiing 60/40, mountian/park, and i like a mid-stiff flex with pop and DURABILITY is the aspect that matters most - just seeing if either ski will be a problem, and which one i should look for. thanks NS!

I dig my ar6s. top sheets arent' super durable, but aren't too weak either. bases and edges are diesel. last weekend a skied this glade at mt snow that was almost top to bottom of like 1 foot of snow with no base and I got like one light scratch. and no edge cracks yet this season!

Scratch FS, especially if you like a mid-stiff flex. That just about hits the nail on the head when you're talking about the Scratches. The AR6 is a fun ski, and it's in my quiver, but it's a bit more traditional soft park ski flex.
