I just got these sticks a few days ago from a local dealer for 549 bucks so really price point. I am 5'1 so I got the 157s and they are a perfect size for me (almost to the top of my head). They feel really really light and have a very nice flex pattern! They are pretty soft but definitely not noodles and think they will be very poppy too. I can't wait to learn butters on them. I know they are gonna be so much fun. They also have a recommended mount of 2 back but they would also ski amazingly when center mounted becaus they are so close to being symmetrical. They are 85 underfoot and have lot's of camber. definitely go for it you won't regret it especially because they are so cheap!

do you want a really stiff all mountain twintip for like 499 bucks or a fairly soft cap construction all mountain twin tip for only 329 bucks.

Let me edit that; do you want a high quality (verticle sidewalls) more stable park ski of a cheap cap ski thats "all mountain" like the salomon threat last year, your choice...

if you got that scrilla, then go chronics or chronic cryptonites. if you dont got that much scrilla, go with masterminds. also, masterminds are entry level all mountain park skis. if youre movin up from a junior ski go with masterminds or if you are a begginner, masterminds would be a good choice. but if you are an advanced and skilled skier, chronics, my man. have fun this winter!!! peace

you got ripped off...were selling them for under 300 im almost 100% positive

OP they're light as hell, theyre 75% the weight of afterbangs which are already a light ski to begin with.
