Ok thanks. are they stiff, poppy, fast, do they float fairly well, and how do they handle on rails? How tall are you and what size skis did you get? Sorry i'm not trying to be creepy i'm just 6'2 and hate short skis. Thank you for the answers.

they're pretty poppy, kinda soft i.e. they can butter pretty good but they're still stiff enough that they're awesome for steeps (double blacks and cliffs). Not sure how fast they are cause I'm really light and always fall behind but my friend used em and he was goin his usual speed.

Those are such different skis.
You can't really ask that question and expect any sort of good answer.

The Watch lifes are stiffer and fatter; my favorite all-mountain ski. They are wide enough to trek over any terrain, stiff enough to charge on, and are solid in the park.

The Nine Lifes are softer, and have a slight early rise in the tip and tail when the camber is flexed (ie when you're standing on them). They are narrower, lighter, and buttery fresh.

they measure up a bit too, I have 170's and they're more like 175 compared to other skis. I'm 6' 130 pounds and they feel okay but I want more ski

Ok cool cause im 6'2 and 180 so i was a little worried that the 182 would be a little small for me but if they measure a little big it should be fine thanks for your help.
