Salomon Foils...just for lighter riders?

These bad boys shouldn't be reccomended to just the lighter riders, I rocked a pair of 170cm's and I'm 6'2 185lbs, and they owned the entire mountain...park, groomed, moguls, absolute domination
Best all mountain twin of '06, Foam-core Shrmoam-core...Foils rip it up, and if you guys have doubts to the strength of a foam core, I snapped a pair of Force FRX's in half from just a backseat landing, but I didn't see the Foils snapping like twigs

Uh... you're 6'2 185 and you decided 170 was the length for you?
Because they make a 182... and I agree... pretty much anyone could ride them... they're just soft.

I prefer shorter skis, and they're 176 actually, my bad...I don't find them that soft at all, but I guess I'm coming off a pair of Force FRX noodles so anything would seem stiff
