it helps but they are both solid skis that of which i have only heard great things about. I just need to know which is better. Also I know the FR's are $599, but how much are the Danollies?

Filthy Rich:

Durability: We use a 4001 sintered 1.8mm base, 2.5mm x 2.5mm edges. They are beefy.

Poppy: Bamboo core and carbon fiber, springboards.

Flex is what I would call medium, but I know that doesnt give you much to go off. Think Volkl Wall ala two years ago.

Fun to take out of the park: Yes. They are true park skis with true center mount, so they will perform like a park ski, but they arent absolute noodles in chop and unmanageable elsewhere.

Buttery: I would say so, they're stiffer than the really noodly park skis, but the rocker sections allow you to get up on there and pivot around pretty well.

Da nollies are legit, crazy durable, really light and poppy but also with a softer flex, so they are very buttery, yet not noodles. They are 88 underfoot so they will be manageable in off piste and crud but they wont perform like a pow ski, however they will shred groomed terrain. Da nollies have very little swing weight which makes them very fun all over the mountain. Overall great ski

I think that these last few questions will be the deciding factor since they both seem to be perfect.


Most nimble (lowest swing weight)?

Most playful?

Best value (they are both $599)?

Best on Jumps?

Best on Rails?

Thanks everyone for the help

The Filthy Rich has a decreased swing weight compared to its predecessor, the Blue Steele. We went with an elliptical rocker/tip shape instead of two separate curves, and by removing some of that curve, we were able to reduce the flat length of the ski while still achieving a 181cm tip to tip length. Less material out on the tips = better swing weight.

Cant speak for anything else... not actually sure if anyone out there has ever skied both of these skis and could answer the questions you have. If they have, do speak up!
