That gives absolutely NO information whatsoever. We don't even know if you are talking skis or boots let alone what line up.

Stiff skis are fun for people who know how to ski and are aggressive.

Soft skis are for people who are lazy.

Most pros ride park skis with race construction.

Dude, it's not bad or good to have a stiff ski. It's just a matter of preference. For example, do you realisticly want to be hitting huge jumps on a pair of invaders? To the conterary (sp?) do you want to popping nollies on a pair of stiff dumonts. It's just a matter of skiing style and preference.

exactly, people who for the most part can actually ski the mountain well and do that enjoy stiffer skis, yes u give up some buttering capability but u can do rails fine and who cares if u cant butter well

wait so you are saying soft skis are for lazy people because those people like to butter more or just liek the feel of  a softer ski. That is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard!

I disagree for the most part
Yes a stiff ski is better for big jumps and cliffs, but there are times when I'm riding through trees see a bush and pop over it.  If I had stiff skis I couldn't do this.  Just because one has a stiff ski it doesn't mean their not aggressive, It means they like doing different things.
Then again, no ski is "soft" to me seeing as I weigh only 100 lbs.
