I dont have the ski knowledge nor the post count to make some sort of ski list people can rely on. Somebody should make it. Here is a example of how it could have looked:

Parkskis(%rails/jumps)

Soft

Line Afterbang(90/10)

Atomic Punx(60/40)

Stiff

K2 Recoil(35/65)

Volkl Wall(35/65)

Allmountain skis(%pow/groomers)

Line Sir Francis Bacon(65/35)

Armada TsT(70/30)

Powder skis(%charging/playing)

K2 Hellbent(10/90)

Bluehouse The Shoots(100/0)

Line Mr Pollards Opus(25/75)

I like the idea but there are so many who wouldn't read it and still make a useless thread anyway

I've always thought it would be cool if there was a flow chart thing that asked questions and led you to a ski.

It can turn out god, or it can fail miserably. I just hope that someone with tons of ski knowledge makes a list and its gets stickied so we dont have more threads that says: Im 5,7 tall 150 Which ski?

i wish there was a flex chart that all companys had to go by so you know how buttery skis are compared to others without using each one

this. until there's a common scale, you can't really go about calling skis soft or stiff. obviously there are exceptions but there'd be a ton of stuff in the grey area.
