I think it is the 07/08 EP pro (PNW drawing)  and 08/09 EP pro (Black and white tree).  The 09/10 EP is supposedly stiffer, but dont quote me on that.

Well there was this company called Suicide skis and they had by far the softest ski, but they no longer exist if I'm not mistaken.

Lizzies are softer than invaders.  I was at Ski Rack in Burlington today and they had the '10 Bacons and the Afterbangs and I was surprised at how stiff they were.  They were nothing like invaders or Lizzies.  They were not as stiff as Chronics, maybe a tad softer.  The stiffness of all the Line skis were very similar, so you can compare them to the chronic cryptonite if you have flexed it which is very similar to the chronic, but they all have a unique flex.  They all flex differently.  teh Afterbangs are very poppy.  The chronic cryptonite have a more damp flex and the Bacons are a medium flex that isn't to damp or too poppy. 

Anyway, I think the Lizzies are the softest or Supercharger Ignitions are the softest.

Yes the older EP's are the softest ski out there, but softest park ski would have to be the k2 Fujatives

As shown by the picture, its EPs. And to flex them that far barely takes any force. Park skis.. Lizzies might be the softest.
