After riding the atomic punx for a while, is the ski like a noodle?  Can you ski all mountain with them or are they basically a park only ski? I have K2 Silencers right now...how would they compare?  +K for help

Punx are little softer than silencers but still stiff enough to stomp everything. Also really light.

I picked up a pair of 08 punx for jibbing and urban this year so i didn't have to rock my ARV's in the streets, and i liked them so much i only ride them now. They are so light and make a super fun all mountain ski and are awesome in the park. I am 6 foot 195lbs and the flex is fine.

will the punx be fine skiing all mountain/powder? I normally ski all park, but when i go on trips to the mountains will they perform well for all mountain and powder?

Differences between punx and urbanpunx are the flex and extra basemetal.

Urban punx have 2 "extra edges" under foot in the base and are really soft while Punx doesn't have those and are much stiffer in comparison.

I got punx and haven't skiied any powder yet. They ride groomers really well for being symmetrical and all.
