addict is a symertical twin. ar6 is not. ar6 is much softer then addict but i find that the addict would be better all moutain because of there flex. i find ar6 too noodly for that. they both perform very well in park and i guess if your a light weight the ar6 would be good all mountain too.
i think that the ar6 is sick. but so is the addict. i dont know why people are sayin the ar6 is too noodly its actually not its more of a butter ski good for park and all mountain. but ur choice i would go with the armadas.
ar6s really aren't that soft. i dont know how fat you guys are but I'm 180 lbs and my ar6s are as hard if not harder to butter than my PEs. maybe the 181 is stiffer than shorter ones but I dont think so. either way they are a sick ski though, not too heavy, super durable edge/base, and the dimensions seem to work really well all over. haven't ridden the addict...
