not hard at all.  those are some of the best all around skis available.  that is, unless you're five feet tall and weight 90 pounds.

Are you serious? We need way more information than that. And generally, if they are the right size for you, you will be fine.

If they are the proper size for you they will be absolutely wonderful.

They're floppy, so they'll chatter like there's no tomorrow if the snow is hard.  That's why mine are getting demoted to rock ski as we speak.  They'll work fine, but they won't make you want to ski groomers--and I hope this is ok with you.

they are actually awesome.  I have 189s and the extra length turns them into big downhill skis.  They have pretty decent sidecut and if you lay the edges in, you're golden. 

They're so good when you need to bomb down to the bottom of the hill at the end of they day, or even cat tracking back to the lift line.

btw, mine never chatter on hard pack.  if you ski them properly, stay forward and use the edges, you'll love 'em.
