How are these skis, i might pick them up eventually.

Soft, medium, or hard flex?

Are they good in crud/groomers?

any pros or cons?

Don't tell me to searchbar because searching cholesterone comes up with a b/s/t thread.  And searching Amplid only brings up jib/skinnier skis.

^^it depends on how much pow you will be skiing.  i personally perfer anything with rocker, just because of the way they ride in pow and the fact that they aren't that bad on groomers.  i think that both those skis should have a pretty similar flex, it's just a question of if you want rocker or not.

wouldn't it be closer to compare the cholesterone r.c. with the hellbent?

obsethed's (spelling, whatever) will be stiffer than cholesterones. also, 105 underfoot is a relatively fat ski, you dont need something around 130 waist to ski pow...

^  I think that solidified my decisions.

I'm 145 lbs and like a soft ski.
