my friend has them and he loves them, hes a fair bit lighter than you though, and even he calls them noodles. 4frnts stuff is getting better and more durable every in my opinion so i dnt think you have anything to worry about for next years stuff.

YEAA! i have them and they are soo poppy and fun. The best ski ive ever owned in my opinion. hold an edge on grromers, actually surprisinglky well in pow, and amazing in the park.

i have them too, they are sooo sick in park.  They butter like crazy too,  it gives me mad shinbank lol but i think its cause of my boots.  They work in powder, but if i have  a pair of MSP's that i use for park cause its nice to have a stiffer ski.

The swingweight on stls is sooo sick though, easy as fuck to spin like a madman onto rails and on jumps

lol fuck i meant; I have a pair of MSPs that I use for powder instead of stls because stls are just too buttery for pow from my experience, although they will still work fine in pow.

watching the 4frnt video from SIA, they mentioned that the skis are now coming out of the elan factory - if anything this will be a positive from a construction/durability standpoint..

STL is a dope ass ski, hands down

im 5 11 and ski the 167's, yes i know they are on the short side. The only prob ive had is the topsheet doesnt like to stay on on one of the tips. Small drawback, doesnt really affect much. Other than that my only complaint is the tips dont have much of a curve so you really have to pick you lines sometimes, other than that great skis

they are great for the park but if you ever bring them on a powder day or backcountry you will hate yourself
