Not really, I think they are pretty park specific. The AR6 will probably be a bit more solid out of the park.

yeah the alpha's don' t actually ride all mountain all that well....they ride really really short and are not that stable at higher speeds.

i ski them outside of park fairly often, and i dont have any major qualms with them. in fact, they perform more nicely on groomers than i had expected! as expected however theyre mad sketchy in bumps

They have a ton of rocker, and are 82 underfoot. These are a very park specific ski.

IMO they have very little rocker.  More like elongated tip rise.. it's not very big.
But like everyone said they'll be perfect for what you're asking about.  The problem all mountain is that all the sidecut of the cambered part has tons of drag behind you(just like JJs do, that's why I'd never buy them.  Love my Alphas though), as in it feels really catchy.  But, I'm used to reverse sidecut 138 wasted 202s, so most other skis seem wierd to me now.
