my friends and i were talking about the softest skis ever we have ridden but are there skis that are so soft and buttery that are almost un-rideable or are un-rideable since they're so soft?

No because companies tend to not make unusable equipment nowadays.

My old ARV's. You could hold the tip, and they would droop down so far.

That was my very first ski is owned. I hated it. Switched to JO pros which are super stiff. Then went to Anthems. But me being a pretty big guy (6'4 200) after about 30 days they go so soft I would wash out on any jump I hit

'Bents are pretty much the standard of what a noodle is, no? 

I heard warm butter is actually stiffer than Hellbents.

softness =/= unrideable.

i still ski my 08/09 lizzies with over 400 days on them. they have zero camber and are so damn fun to ski.

^^indeed, last week i rode a handful of skis and my EP pros being the softest by far was also one of the most stable/predictable skis, for example i also rode nordica Zeros which are stiffer but were a lot less stable at higher speeds or in crud/bumps ....
