Hi, I used a pair of verdict last season,an amazing ski, however, Im looking the Zealot as a second pair of skis. Are they more stiff than the Verdict or are a little bit softer to enjoy smooths turns

If your looking for a softer powder board then check out the justice, 5 mm wider, same tip profile, but a LOT softer. They would balance well with your verdicts. Verdict for old snow, justice for new snow.

The new Zealots are fat stiff and designed for control at high speeds in pow and variable snow. They are definitely stiffer than the verdicts but if you want to take your skiing to the next level give them a shot. They definitely rip!

The Zealot is much stiffer, not softer. Really fun if you want to haul balls and have amazing stability.

The Zealots are stiffer than the Verdicts. Look no further than the reviews by Noah and Nick, those dudes know what they are talking about.
