What are you using them for? Chopsticks are as more dedicated powder jib stick while the elizabeths hadle power well but also feel at home on the front side due to their slightly smaller dimensionsActually thanks I just answered myself.. Thanks.I'm an east coaster that travels out west twice a year.. I want a backcountry ski with nice pop.. I like natural hits and deep stuff but want something more playful.. Is the chopstick a reverse camber? --- "The Chopstick’s reverse camber is less pronounced then other skis, allowing more of the ski’s edge to be in contact with the snow and giving you more control whether you're sessioning the park or riding a groomer back to the lift."
