Iv`e only held the Karmas but they felt really light.
I know people who have tested them and they say their great. Have only seen the mothership.

If you could get the karmas at an affordable price you should get them. You`ve gotta salute the moships for those badass topsheets tho.

Which ski is the stiffer ?

Both are good skis, but I would recommend something in between these two widths. If you're using it for you're everyday ski, the two are too far on either side of the spectrum. A head mojo 90 or a line profit 90 will fullfill your requirements much better. The two are on the stiffer side of the chart, which is better for freeriding, but won't be two stiff for park riding. Swingweight is low on both skis. If you're set on the karma, remember, the public enemy skis alot like it (a little more wash at the finish of the turn), but is much cheaper. Volkl is also coming out with a twin that is even cheaper than the pe. I don't remember what the dimentions are, but I will check tomorrow at work if you're interested and respond to this.

Flites are not the ski you want if you ski hard outside of park, they will wash out everywhere. Karmas are a good balance between the flite and the ti. If you ride mostly park and just want a fat ski, get the flites. If you ride some park, and some groomers, get the karmas. If you want a ski that just charges hard and has some park capabilities, get the ti (although the karma is very close to the all mountain capabilities of the moship tis). This is ignorning price of course, as its harder to find a beter deal on karmas.
