What is the flex like in the Megawatt? Comparing to 2010 Volkl Bridges (178cm) and 2009 Coombacks (181cm)?

Has anyone come up with a consistent way to quantify and communicate flex for skis?

Matt, I guess you send an email to bc.com asking them to forward it Nate to get the answer you need.

I can't give you the exact answer but if you can speak to Nate Blouin, who works for Backcountry.com, he'll tell all you need to know. He swears by those skis. The other two skis you mentioned are different style of skis vs. the Megawatt. I would recommend the 188 cm, but it depend on your height & weight. See if you can try to contact Nate, he shreds Snowbird everyday on them.
