They are extremely stiff, as all surface skis are.

there are a good ski, my girlfiend has a pair, i've taken some laps with them and they are pretty stiff, but 100 underfoot is not a problem in the park, i ride skis that are 112 underfoot as my park skis and i love it haha

I had a pair come into the shop last week that both heels had ripped out. I helicoiled the blown holes as he didn't want a remount. Idk if it was a bad mount but the way the topsheet was cracked it didn't look like it. More of a true rip out, the only issue is this guy was pretty novice and I cant imagine him pulling screws out of a new skis. So my concern is to due with the makeup of the ski. What makes it "green" and could that have to do with the durability of the core?...thread jack sorry
