New Skis...

I'm looking for some new twintips that are fairly stiff. I don't really want a ski with a lot of flex at high speeds, and I don't really care about buttering. Also something that holds up well and won't fall apart on rails. Any suggestions?

He probably doesnt want the MSP because he lives in Maine. Depending on how hard you ski, I say either the K2 Public Enemy, Volkl V-Pro or Head Mad Trix. From flexiest to stiffest, thats the order. All of them are far stiffer than most twins however.

I have the old mad trix. They are super stiff and super heavy. Its a bit too heavy and stiff for park, its a bit too heavy and wide for bumps, its a bit too narrow for powder, its pretty good for carving. But... If you can only afford one ski, that is the one.
