Stiff or Soft? I looked back at last year's reviews/tests and several of the "cons" about this ski was it was too soft for big skiers. Now several of the reviews this year say it is heavy and will work you over. Did Rossi change it?? I thought the only change was the graphic and maybe only the 195 was stiffer. I'm a fly-weight expro cyclist and was getting ready to buy these but the new reviews made me think. Stiff or soft for 2010? Or same?

Hey 9094. This is the same ski as last season with an updated graphic. It has a moderate flex underfoot which helps to grab hard snow and keep it from getting too chattery at speed and in crud. Where the rocker starts, it gets real soft real fast. So the tips and tails ride up over soft and cut up snow. This also helps to make the ski really nimble despite its wide platform. The 195cm version (coming soon!) has a bunch of metal in it and is significantly stiffer than the three smaller sizes.
