i have them and am completely in love with them.  stiff flex mellow rocker.  makes it so you dont wash out too much on not so deep days. plus landing backwards feels exactly like landing forwards in pow.  if you like jibbing in the backcountry but dont want something as flexy as hellbents then get chopsticks.

like if i wanted to like flex the sucker though, can it flex because ive owned volkls before and they are stiff as a board. i just want these to actually be a little playful

they're not stiff as boards like some volkl skis, but theyre not as soft as hell bents or ep pros. i think they're just right, still playful enough but you can also rip on them

They are a very solid and fun ski. They are noticably stiffer than Hellbents or EP Pros. They feel very at home dropping cliff and skiing fast. They dont have quite as much rocker as the Hellbents or EP pros, but it does the job. They also ski switch in pow like a dream. The only downside that I found with them was that they were pretty heavy. If you get them, get them mounted dead center, charge shit, and land switch with ease where-ever whenever.

i have them and fucking love them.  so much fun.  since they are stiff they give you the confidence to ski faster and do more stuff in sketchy terrain.  there is no better ski for crud.  in pow they are obviously amazing as well.  i prefer a stiffer ski, so i love them, but they are not as stiff as most volkls.  they probably have about half the rocker that hellbents have but they dont have a flat spot at all, they are pretty much reverse camber, but because of that they ski very consistent on groomers as well.
