If you don't weigh much you need a lot of force to bend a stiff ski..I know guitar who's like 150-160 pounds said mantras are too stiff for him. 6 foot 165 lbs. So I probably don't want a ski that's too stiff...??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how bad are you boots? Boots are far more important than skis. Yeah salty what's the stiffness of your boots?? I remember Enjorales was saying his old boots were like a 70 stiffness which is like a slipper. I like around 110. I've been on as stiff as 130s and as soft as 90s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say stiffer than what you're on now but not as stiff as mantras somewhere in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be able arc turns (and not pocono shuffle) first. Metal in skis will just make it tougher for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
