Hey guys, I'm having trouble for which ski I think I should get. So far I have narrowed it down to, Nordica OMW, Nordica Soul riders, and Rossignol scratches. I am an advanced skier. I'm 5'11 and 155 pounds, and ski mostly east coast (ice). I would say I ski 75% park and 25% all mountain/powder. I was skiing on fat ypus gbutters, last season, which the gbutters I really liked, if that will help at all. Thanks NS.

The scratches and the omw are stiffer than the soulrider, since you were on the gbutters last year and you want a similar ski, go for the soulriders!!

I have been doing my research on the Nordica OMW. Personally, I am leaning towards purchasing a pair for myself. I am a fan

The ski is almost all of Nordica's teams weapon of choice and seems to ghave a balance of flex. Soft enough for playfulness but stiff enough for speed and booters
