If I can bend them without putting my weight into them they're too soft, it makes deep pow REALLY fun!

I went for some stiff skis this year and I didn't realize just how stiff they were til I skied them. At first I had trouble keeping them under control conpared with my old skis. But once I got used to the ohh man they kicked ass. If can stay on top of a stiff ski they are so much better. They faster you go the more control you have I love it. Stiff for sure.

Being out there skiing every day, good or bad, just playing around with friends, with no contests or filming- that is the real spirit of skiing for me. that is why i started skiing, and if i lose those moments that is what will make me stop skiing.

brentharlen you dont even own your own skis. and soft and stiff vary depending on your height, weight, etc, so whats soft for someone may be stiff for you

For big mountain, I want a piece of steel atached to my feet with as little flex as possible, just so I can stick big stuff and blast through avie debris, for park though, something in-between like a PE or MSP.

I would want something real soft for park, and I think the TMs are a little too stiff, but good for anything else.

^um what do you mean same ski, have you ever demoed a 1260 then gone back to stiff skis its different world on both skis. soft is like only good in park, stiff with a little pop is awsome in park and pretty good in pow. the only logical choice in........STIFF

yeah a softer ski with a lot of rebound is the best, so its kinda soft for manuverability, but the rebound gives you good pop and more stability at high speeds

i think my candides are medium stiff but they've got a stiff tail for landing switch but the problem is that the tail is really small

I ski Madtrix, does that answer te question? Nah, I'll use either depending on what I'm doing. Soft for park, but stiff as I can get anywhere else. That might just be because I got used to skiing on stiff skis before I switched to twins, tho.

Skitheslopes, you're mad at a company because they're in existence to make money?

As for me, I like my Pocket Rockets better all-around, including park. My stiffer skis, the PEs are for park-only days because too much jumping tends to break my Pocket Rockets... If I break another set of Pockets I will try the Seth Pistols too. I like soft skis for all-around. Stiff is for racing...

i go for the most noodelish ski i can get my hands on




***********************************
Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...

The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

women's skis are softer, soft skis are for pussies. im just fukn around, but i like stiff skis, they hold an edge better, and the only thing soft skis are good for are butters. well im poor, and stiff skis cost more, so i have the fujatives, which are soft, and if i carve too hard, they flap and magically i am going backwards.
