There have been many postings about this but you can look at it 2 ways:

1. Your paying for a ski that, arguably, the best freestyle skier on the planet endorses, hence the price reflects that.

2. A soft flexing ski is cheaper to manufacture and it is over priced.

You pick which view you want to take.

i dont know the first thing about making skis, but i would just assume it would be EASIER to make a softer ski. im just guessing tho.

^i dunno about that. I dont know shit about making skis either but I think it would be harder to make a ski with a spesific flex pattern, not just all stiff or all soft. Even for smaller companies like armdad it really shouldnt affect the price though..

nope. makinf a soft ski is way cheaper. the stiffer you want to go, the more material you have to use (wood, fiberglass, carbon, titanium, ect. and soft woods are usually quite a bit cheaper that hardwoods. plus, if they are making a ski that is less torsionally ridgid, they need more glass. a butter/rail ski should be forgiving, and in turn SHOULD use biaxe or less fiberglass.

Yes they do. And their quality level has gone from good to great.
