So I'm thinking about gettting some Boone's. I'm 6'3" and 175lbs. Clearly I'm gonna get a 180 wide. Out of the twins, magic sticks, and super freaks, which are the stiffest. Also, how are boones, I haven't heard much about them. Thanks.

there are 3 different grafics for the same skis. so doest matter about which of those in terms of stiffness. they are not all that stiff, but they arent that soft, however they would probabley feel soft for you my man since your big.

look at how much boone has changed.  this time last year, there would be about 10 people posting 3 paragraphs each about how sick boone skis were and how theyre the best company ever. 

i personally have never ridden boone skis, but based on the reviews they get, id say theyre pretty good, and definitely have their shit on lock when it comes to attitude.

you can get whatever graphic you want on any dimension you want.  The 180 is our freeride ski and in my opinion the stiffness is a perfect median.  i'm a little shorter than you, but a tiny bit heavier and prefer the 180 over anything.  pm me if you would like a coupon code.

invaders are a bit softer, boone's a bit snappier. both solid but depends what you're looking for.

hmmm it's been a while since i had a set of invaders but i'm pretty sure the boones are lighter. actually the boones are just about the lightest ski i've used i think.
