i would say the karma, in my opinion its better all mountain. Ive heard its more durable, and i think its lighter weight, but not quite sure. I have karmas and i love them on everything, hardpack, pow, trees and park.  Also I havent had a problem with durability yet, and I've beat them pretty hard.

hmmmmm ok, well ill say first thing i find there is a considerable diff in flex between the karma and AR6. the Ar6 is softer then the karma but i would still say its a medium flex. Since u ski lots of rails u prob want a ski that doesnt fall apart and has thick edges...they both sound very solid from everything thats been on here and they both have thick edges. So id say its between what flex u want since both are very durable skis
