i searchbarred and couldnt find much about them. I was wondering how durable this ski is. also, how flexy/soft is this ski? Finally, which size I should get? im 164cm and 115lbs. I want a soft and playful/buttery ski. if you dont think this ski is good for me, which ski do you recommend?

They are a medium to stiff ski, they are really poppy and an all around fun ski, the topsheet chips easily but they are durable all in all.

my edges starting coming out after a season but to be fair, i always kept a left and right ski, so my inside edge on my downhill ski got worn more than it should've in the time period that i had them for, Plus I hit about 5 jumps last year and pretty much only did rails. I also stupidly took em for urban and the stairs had cheese grater metal over the steps.
I personally like a longer ski, I am 56-57 and ride the 176's. But It's up to you to decide what size you need.

haha ya that sucks. i probably wouldnt even consider getting this ski if i wasnt getting the deal. i was talkin to my friend about new skis for next year, and hes like "if you want nines i can get a pair for like 2 bills" i almost started crying when he said it. haha.

Yea, lucky man. I've wanted them for a while and they're pretty sick so I don't really mind.
