Fujis are softer at the tip and tail but firmer underfoot.

Noodley skis are fun, but I wouldnt want them for an everyday ski, or even a main park ski. But butters are sooooo fun.

You could easily nose butter, but not tail. Most likely because the nose it twice as long as the tails on rentals.

I hope the Ep's aren't that soft. Skiing soft skis in the powder and the crud is so gay.

I would say the Fujatives are the softest. After 2 seasons they are way to soft to even ski. I hated it.

I agree for sure. I was amazing by how soft they are... and it's really even. From tip to tail they're butter. Super fun to rip anywhere.

this season's arv is insanely soft. super fun though. the stl's from the first year of production are unbelieveably soft. it felt like they were spring loaded.

and whoever said salomon foils is an idiot. they aren't even a little bit soft.
