i ski line blends and i love em. they've done me well in park just gotta get used to them a lil. i don't know the base of the AR6 but you know that wider bases allow for more comfortable landings just not as much quick control

I have both, and for not being a park skier, I love the AR6...If I ever bought a new park ski, it'd be the AR6.

Any ways, if your thinking of going into some more allmountain skiing, like some more cliffs, powder or jazz like that. Get dem Blends. If your sticking to Park and Groomers (i'm picturing you on this little east coast slope), Go AR6.

out of those, if you ski just park and groomers go with ar6 the line blends are pretty stiff, if you are looking for a line ski comparable to the ar6 you should look at the chronic or the chronic cryptonite, if you want a softer all mountain ski look at the anthem, or if you are skiing mainly other stuff and want a ski that can ski park too(occasionaly) look at the volkl bridges(they are expensive, but you know what they say, you get what you pay for)

I use the line blends as a one ski quiver and iam super stoked on them, pow, groomer, crud, park, whatever!
However if your looking for just park and groomers, iam thinking the ar6 might suit you better.

Pretty sure anthems are NOT an all mountain ski, The Chronic Crypyonite is a fat all mountain ski with a medium flew and it seems to be right in the middle of what your looking for?

well anthems can be skied all mountain if youre doing it the minority of the time and it would work better if you dont weigh much since its really soft. the ar6 is softer and more playful than the chronic, but still tears it up outside the park.

Yeah, But the CC  is also 93 or something waist so it's stiffer like blends (but not as stiff) and still playful(not as playful as ar6's or anthems obviously)
