Hey,

could anyone here shed some light on the difference in the flex of these skis?

I find Publics quite stiff and i was wondering if the AR5s are going to be a little softer, whilst still being good for use across the mountain, and not just in the park..

This is also gong to be comparing 169 PE's to 176 AR5's (if the length will make a difference)

thanks for your help
