You are going to get 100 people on here who have never actualy skied a stiff ski tell you they are stiff, the truth of the matter coming from someone who has skiied foam cores to metal cores, these are a medium flex.

^u keep saying that there not that stiff, and compared to old school all mountain skis or hardcore big mountain skis maybe there not, but compared to almost any park ski and about 90 percent of all twins(which is what they should be compared too) they are really pretty damn stiff.

Well how much do you weigh, what length did you get them in, where do you live, how agressively to you ski? Are you a park skier? I mean theres a bunch of different factors that are going to effect someones perceptions of stiffness. all I know is when I am bombing off-piste they are flopping around on me, stiff skis don't do that. If you ski groomers on the EC and weigh 150lbs and ski the 187cm and ski mostly park, yeah they may feel stiff to you, but not if you charge on them.
I'm not trying to be a dick here but they arn't really all that stiff. They are less floppy than a pistol probably but not ass stiff as a gotama.
I assume the pros were complaining about the floppyness that they made the supermodel (which I have flexed and is pretty stiff)

Im 6', and 150 lbs, and I ski my last year 180's pretty hard. The ski is perfect for holding an edge up to a certain point. It all depends how hard you ski your skis. I can now almost predict the speed that the whole ski is gonna chatter super bad if I check turn. If your gonna ski this in the park, it will be moderatly stiff but still really fun to butter and pop on. If you gonna ski this big mtn, Id only reccomend it if your a lighter skier or you dont push your skis super hard.
For a Park skier-not the stiffest but a pretty stiff ski
For a larger big mtn skier-a medium-softer ski

Well, I weigh 190 lbs and I'm 6'4", I ride east coast and I also ski a pair of race skis. Im pretty aggressive, and they do wash out on me especially when i get backseat. I was just curious because i plan on getting a new pair of skis next year, and I'm wondering what to expect.

Stiffness isn't a big deal ,its just preference. I know people who rip on floppy twins and visa versa, so just go with whichever you prefer. I will warn you on stiff skis though, they can be a handful at slow speeds.
