So i jsut got my troublemakers and im kind of shocked about how stiff they are. I have Salomon Guns which are a very stiff ski and the Tm's are much stiffer. Is this just because they are new. Will they break in and be nice and soft?

Guns- year old

TMs- New.


Im pretty sure they are so stiff because they are new. Guns were the same way when they were new

Go to a shop and start flexing skis.  Guns and TMs will be way softer than most other skis (ARVs are, too.)

Afterall, Guns are supposed to be backcountry jjibbing toolls. although now most backcountry jibbers are wayy extreme in dimensions, but guns (pocket rockets) were the original I think.

they are soft. really.

no they really arn't the labs were stiffer but the ones you are talking about are the same as the pocket rockets and there is nothing stiff about them. try flexing a mojo 103, or a Legend Pro, then tell me that the guns are stiff.

That was the first year the Guns replaced the PR's, I believe. It's the same as the PR, just different graphics.

Not stiff at all.
