what do you mean by "flexible". soft? medium flex? soft tip for buttering? elaborate on what you want, you're skiing ability and more on what type of skiing you do.

Armada THalls sound pretty good for you. Soft and buttery, but can still tear it up all over the mountain. The K2 Domain is another option if your looking for something symmetrical and rockered, they ski softer than the THalls (because of the rocker), and still ski very well around the mountain (but the THalls will ski a bit better because of it's sidecut dimensions).

i wont turn u away from suspects because i seems as u dont ski hard, at all, so they shouldnt be a problem with durability, and there a sick set of skis but stiff nonetheless.

yet i think the masterminds would be a better choice, there soft and rip the whole mountain, but beware when going fast and carving they wont do too great because of the soft flex

and the other choice i recommend is the cronics: stiff, hauls down, carves the whole mountain, and wont butter out on u while going fast

so choose which one fits u the best and get it, yet still look on the website for more info and ask the people at the ski shop fo a final opinion

hope this helps!!

Check out salomon's website. Mike Douglas does a review and if Mike Douglas likes a ski, you know it's a dope ski.
