for next season i am going to get either the ninthward first blood or the fischer addict pro. they are about the same price and both seem to be semi stiff park/all mountain skis. im 6'2" 170 lbs.

does anyone have any experience with either of these? +k for help

Hey! I have used 181 Addict Pro last 2 winter. I'm 6'1 and 84kg. They very stiffy for me, i cant make batter for example. Sorry for my bad English.

I figured since fischer makes a lot of race stuff, it's in their blood to make stiff skis.

I would stay away from the addicts, my friend bought these skis

and after just 7 days of skiing the tips are cracking because of the "low swing weight tips"
