try to demo them or a soft ski to see if you like it, I used them for all mountain/park and they weren't that stable at high speeds

ive found its a mild to stiffer ski underfoot and gets soft in the tip and tail.

if you liked a stiffer ski id look elsewhere, think maybe volkl walls. still have some flex but one the stiffer spectrum.

my friend had the all blue ignitions and they were like wet noodles. they didnt have much pop and washed out alot bacause it is the same soft flex pattern throughout the whole ski.  In comparison to other skis they are even softer than my fujatives(which is a soft ski).  Just not a ski that i want to have when im goin big because they are not real stable.

                                                                hope that  helps

i would definatley not buy them if you are used to a stiff ski because the things are like noodles, they are way to soft expecialy if you are an agressive skier. the ski is defenatley easy to turn and playfull but my overall thought on them was that they were way to soft. i remember one night at work in the ski shop this winter i thought i had broken the ski because i was flexing  the ski with the tip on the floor and the thing bent almost 90derese which i think is way to soft.

you see the tip is really soft, but its stiff under foot and out almost to the tips where it softens up, they are really fun and ate stiff enough to stomp shit. i learned switch cork 9s and 10s on them and they werent washing out even on backseat landings and i weigh about 200 pounds

they have less snap than my fujatives. 
and in my opinion they feel sloppy and noodle like.
