Has anyone tried the Volkl Chopsticks?

I am looking for some rockered uber fats to slay the chit out of the BC with. Somewhere along the way I convinced myself that the chopsticks were the ski for me, but I don't really know. My main concern is that they'll be to stiff, but not having tried them I don't really know.

Any info would be great. I'm open to other suggestions as well.

the chopstick looks sick! I'm very interested in trying it as well, but with a rockered ski you don't nesecarilly need a soft ski. since it is rockered it is already flexed for you. if you are looking for soft rockered skis check out the hell bent and even softer is the EP Pro a little smaller and stable would be the JJ which is rockered tip and tail and really stiff under foot for more stability, and when I saw smaller I'm talking 115 under foot

The Chopstick is the best in wide open terrain. Big Mountain skiing. It likes to make more of aSuper G turn then a GS turn, but at speed it is extremely stable and floats on anything. It might be a little stiff for some, but if you want a ski to plow through snow instead of floating on snow the Chopstick is anexcellent choice. If you want something more versatile for all mountain the Armada JJ and K2 Hell Bent are going to be better choices.
