So recently I got a pair of 2015 line traveling circuses, I got a good deal on them so I picked them up. But that said now I am double thinking them. Last year I had kartel 98's and absolutely loved them but this year I was looking for lighter less swing weight more manuverable ski. I ski about 60% park 40% all mtn and I do push the skis hard. Are the curciess to flexy and not a good all mtn ski. How is the speed chatter?
ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED! K+ for help.

For the amount of all mountain you do it may be questionable. you gotta define all mountain for you though. Some light pow, trees, groomers, stuff like that. You said you drive them so that might be a hint of where you go but give us everything. Im a bit worried these might be a little soft and not "all mountain" enough for you

Groomers, trees, light Midwest "pow" is what I ski, the whole lot.

It's a pretty light ski, nice radius turn and not 100% symmetrical so it will be good for all mountain. Certainly not super stiff but not a noodle. Thanks!

I would imagine they will feel like a considerable downgrade for all mountain coming from the kartel 98s but I am sure they will still function and be fun. They might also suit your skiing style more if you are wanting something lighter and more buttery.

I have a pair as well, although I ski more park than you do. Unless you are used to a fairly stiff ski, I think these will be fine because they are wide enough to do anything really. They will definitely feel lighter, and I personally like the flex, but I look for flexibility and playfulness more than anything else in a ski, and I am a smaller kid. If you are a bigger guy, you should probably look at a stiffer ski though, because pretty much anyone could butter these. These will be my all mountain/everyday/park pair. Keep in mind that they are very flexible though, so I would not advise buttering at high speeds unless you really know what you're doing with these skis.
