They're pretty soft on the tips and relatively stiff underfoot (can I be more vague?).  The beta construction makes them really stiff torsionally, which is nice to see in a foam core powder ski.  I have a couple friends who ride them and really like them on soft snow, but you should look elsewhere if you want a ski for hardpack because the Pimps aren't so great for that.

isnt the pimp pretty much the same ski as the old stomp? that being the case, ^ is right. its a wierd flex pattern. the tips are pretty soft, maybe 12 inches in, and then it stiffens up dramatically. they are super super light tho.

never years are sandwich construction, and look like much more like a proper bc twin (think Armada ARV).
