This ski is stiffer than everything than the Bsquad... the ants and gotomas are kinda noodly, the phantoms not so much... but still not mega stiff. The M1 is a very stiff ski. you flex it and you think "wow that's stiff but i can manage it. the B-squad however is crazy stupid stiff... you flex it and you question your athletic ability, and whether you will even be able to ski it or not...

I think it is stiffer than all those. More like an old dynastar legend pro. I raced and it is definitely as stiff as my gs boards. But like i said the rockered tip makes it super easy to plow through anything.It's not a powder ski but its a very good all around big lines ski. I also have the ruby 190 and it has little more forgive and is fatter but i like the m1 rockered for going fast, stomping huge hits, and big mountain sketchy riding. If you cant ski with he big dogs don't get them. The M1 is one of the stiffer stock skis you can buy right now. I haven't skied the B-Squads/Phantoms, but from what I've heard, the M1 is right up there in stiffness. Maybe just a tad softer than the 194 Squad. Definitely much stiffer than the Gotoma.
