This is the same Alex as in the question below, I just had a few more. First off, how stiff is this ski? I know its made for skiing powder, but once I inevitably end up on a groomer or once its all tracked out how can I expect them to handle. Second, is there any rocker to this model as there is with the 186 and 193 or does it have a more traditional shape? Lastly, how would this ski compare to the gotama in the same length or even with the 183 (i hear it skis short). I've been shopping around for something with a 100+mm waist and there seem to be lots of options.

This ski is what I would describe as a mid-stiff, not like a race ski but not as soft as a park ski. They will handle ok on groomers, you will be able to turn and carve with them but don't expect them to handle as well as something say in the 80's underfoot. The 190 has a traditional shape. I do not know how they compare in length to a Gotama but I could imagine it being an American ski vs. European that 4FRNT measures full ski length while Volkl uses running length.
