They have a different ride to them than the AR6's, and I felt them to be a little awkward, but I like the more traditional sidecut. The AR6 is a very traditional ski, that is proven to crush the park and the rest of the mountain. The rocker on that Alpha 1 is nice, you can ride it all mountain, in the small fall pow days, or on the crisp new groomers, and it does help the butters and swing weight like they say, but nothing really noticeable except to really good park skiers. The Alpha 1 would just take longer to get used to.
