Fisher makes some of the world's finest skis (and they are the world's largest producer of skis too), their only problem is their image - it's too racer chaser, so unfortunately a lot of people shy away from them.  But they make sick skis and if you're looking for a stiffer symmetrical twin, the Addict Pro is great.

definitely heavier than a lot of park skis, but they are good and stiff and can really rail even when they are center mounted. i suck at skiing park and pretty much just go through and huck straight airs the whole time, and these are definitely solid for jumping. they seem very well constructed and durable as well, something fischer is known for.

They are probably good ski because from what i've seen they make the best race skis. Like the guy above said, they have too much off a race image but I am sure their park skis are great.

if you're lookin for buttery, these are pretty much on the opposite side of the spectrum. they can be skied just about like a race ski in terms of edge hold etc.

i have a friend with a pair of addict pros...he likes them a lot but they are on the stiffer side of the park ski spectrum so if that is what you like go for them
