so my only concern with the new lifes is the stiffness, i loved how soft the ep's were, and that you could actually flex the ski a bit in powder and buttering wasnt just diving your tips into the snow, you could actually be in deep powder and butter with the ski flexing a bit. never really felt it was too soft.
new lifes seem pretty stiff, ive kinda wanted to try out a stiffer big rocker powder ski, i could see how it could be fun, but how does it do for BC jibbing type stuff? thats really what i spend most my time doing, and they will probably see a bit of time in the park too.
might even consider the lab 001, its a tad softer i think, and the convex base seems so awesome for powder, and could be crazy fun in the park.
