Hi Everybody (hi doctor nick)

I am in the marked for a new pair of skis for the upcoming season. And I have pretty much narrowed it down to these two.

Mostly because of their length, I would like a ski longer then 180. I'm about 188 myself.

Så I was wondering if any of you out there maybe have riddin' these two pair of skis. I would like a soft ski, for buttering and stuff. I have been riding 05/06 PE's and they are too stiff for my riding style and liking.

As I see it, knowing nothing of the flex of the skis, the Punisher have the benefit of the lenght on 193 og the 89 under foot. Where as the Punx are only 184 and 84 underfoot, but the are a true twintip.

I will only be using the ski in the park.

Hope you guy can help!


Thanks

193 is massive for a park ski. I have riden a 182 scott punisher and I really liked it. It has a little less sidecut than the p3 and as such doesnt want to carve quite so much. It is a medium flex with a softer tip, Probably inbetween the fujative and Public Enemy but definately more on the public enemy side of stiffness. How about a 183 frnt stl or the longest length in the volkl bridge, 185 (92mm underfoot). The 4frnt is definately the more park orientated of the 2.

Thanks.

The STL sounds a little stiff the places I have read about it.

So anybody knows about a softer ski with a lenght in the mid 80's?
