okay so I have narrowed my decision down to these two skis

the fisher

and the ninthward

if you have any experience with these skis let know how you liked them pro and cons you know...

and I know that fisher doesn't have the hype that ninthward does but all I want is the better ski of the 2

thanks NS

never skied ninthwards but i had addicts (not sure the difference from the pros aside from graphics, would be interested to hear though) they were fun, seemed durable to me, symmetrical shape which is nice.  all in all you won't be dissapointed if you go with the addicts.

addicts, expecially the pros, are stiff as shit. super poppy, great hold on your edges. i doubt you will be buttering though....

yea they don't really butter well, however if you put your weight into it butter threes are doable. They hold up well enough. Have had mine for an every day ski for the past two years and holding up well.~120 days on snow. I have a couple of edge cracks but they are still well intacked. Supper fun ski if you like you like it stiff... But really I have enjoyed mine

9s are really durable since they switched to the Elan factory too. I don't think you can go wrong with durability with either of these. They're not 9 lifes.

But the 9s are a little more butterable I'd imagine. the 09/10 Firstblood is SUPER stiff, which I love, able to hit big kickers, ski around the mountain a bit more than just with some park skis.

If your looking to butter and flex them i would look into a softer ski. Atomic's, lines, and armadas, are ones i hear about a lot however i havent used them. I have heard good things from my buddy who uses the fishers, but they might not be what your looking for considering their flex
