I know their not specifically the same kind of ski, but its between these two for me. Which one would you rather have and why?

Filthy rich due to the symmetrical profile as well as the same amount of rocker in the tip and tail. I like the al dentes concept, but i think its weird having only tip rocker and none in the tail. Both seem like a sick ski though. So the final say from me is that i would go for the filth's in the park, and the al dentes for all mountain free ride.

Filthy riches are more than likely going to be more durable and will hold up on jumps better and still be really fun and buttery. Go with those... Unless ur riding more all mountain and want to ski on a noodle

All i Know is that Al Dentes are cool because they are buttery and a bit wider. I really don't know to much about Filthy Rich's but both are great skis

I have the filthy riches and people on here tend to exaggerate there softness, they really have a much more medium flex under the boot, and rocker at the tip. Definitely not an even flex throughout. These skis are both great it really comes down to what you want more out of.

Do the al dente have any kind of pop or snappiness. Cause I don't want something that just flops.

The non rockered tail means the skis still have plenty of pop. They certainly won't be doing short turns but they rip mid to long turns and are super stable at speed. They are a really good all mtn ripper which is still super playfull.

Filthy Riche's annihilate everything in the park, hold their own on groomers
