I am thinking about getting the Nordica Soul Riders and i am wondering what people have to say about them? How do they ride? How are they in the park? I would really appreciate it if you guys could give me some feedback on these skis.

Skied them for a couple of runs at last years on snow...Really liked them. They were able to harness the power that I put in and I felt like I had complete control and they did what I wanted them to. Would likely be a good choice if you are looking to cruise all mountain and still be able to do park laps. Tails are soft enough but provide ample pop. Real stable on fast gs turns and fun all over, they are a good choice

I owned a pair for the last couple of weeks, and got a different experience out of the ski then what I was expecting. Great ski, I found it to be incredibly stable, and good for jumping. I was definitely expecting them to be much softer and buttery though, my pair was actually fairly stiff, compared to my Rossignol Scimitars. A fun ski, just not as soft as everybody makes it out to be! Mcslay's are just incredibly broken in

Got the this year's edition. Kinda heavy especially if you buy FKS, super nice flex, good rocker to go through any type of snow almost. Really a great ski! highly recomend!

I honestly found them kind of challenging on certain rails, and easier on others. Let them break in first, and then you can give an honest opinion on how they feel for yourself

I recently purchased last years soul riders, I have only put one day on them , not the best conditions. I love them so far. very stable at high speeds and normal all mountain skiing, I was impressed with them in the crud. They are pretty flexible, but not as flexible as I thought. Still fun though. I dont really have any input as far as park
