Palmer PO1's - We sell them in the shop I work in and they are by far the softest ski I have ever seen, we have invaders too and the Palmers are way softer than them. And it's a park ski.

My 185 arvs the black one, are THE softest ski I have ever flexed, let alone ridden. I know the EP are softer, but I cant think of anything softer than my ARVS other than the EPs.

yup. i know it doesnt answer the specific question, but id say these are the softese ski ever. i was holding one standing up, and just pulled down on the tip and the thing bends into a freakin U. its so crazy, they are stiffening them up next year because they were so noodly this year.

true that they are staying soft cause thats how they are supposed to be when using them in powder so they def wouldn't stiffen them

pollard dosent actully ski on them he skis on a similar ski but much fatter so the version you buy is a ski he has designed but dosent personaly use so they might be stiffer

all scratches are like that. they have a rubber layer in the tips and tails to absorb impacts if you hit something. it wont effect how soft the ski is

My addicts are supah stiff. They are the first models (white topsheet with fischer and addict writing on the tips and tails). My invaders from 06-07 are so much softer.

im a pretty big guy, like 6' even around 210 lbs.... so i dunno if i need something that flexy but i just love the park to death and i can see having a big thick ski thats only good for pow if i wanna kill it there... but anyways its definitly between the invaders and the reno rockers.... ill see what comes up later on in this thread and then make a decision off of that...

thanks
