Is it better to have stiff or soft skis? (Ex. Candide's = stiff, Concept = softer) What are the benefits of a stiff v.s. soft ski?

A stiff ski will be more stable at speed, and a softer ski will chatter more when you are going fast, but is generally better for park skiing.

Yeah he's right, it depends what kind of skiing you like to do aye. I generally really like real stiff skis but I'm using Skogens now and they're soft as hell and I LOVE them, hehe, they're great as.
