they're a really fun ski, nice and light. They're pretty durable. really fun to carve around with on groomers, can handle pow if it's below knees pretty well. Great in the park, just not a fan of the flex, i found it a little stiff for my liking. but a really good ski.

Thrashed my 2008's harder than any other ski last year and they held up perfectly with fks's. Perfect ski size for all terrain, and I have never seen another pair on the mountain for some reason. Good flex, stiff at first.

yeah dog, i've been riding on my ar6 for almost two years and pretty much thrashing them... these skis are VERY durable and reliable you could ssay i guess. but my favorite thing about them is that even though how durable they are and how strong they are on jumps and landings the remain poppy and light (even with demo bindings haha). and after you ride them a while and get used to em you can rock em in powder

once i get mine (in a week or so) since i just ordered them..ill let you know. maybe a little softer than the walls and the suspects? dont worry, it was a big concern for me, but i talked to about 10 owners of ar6s and they all said that they have plenty of flex to butter after you break them in..

I liked mine, i had em for the past 1 and a half seasons and they've held up pretty well, no edge cracks but the only thing is that the tails have rockered themselves from a couple of hard backseat crashes.

hm, ive not been nice to my ar6s and no major topsheet chippings. my völkl walls chipped way more.
i think the topsheet holds up very well.
