bakerymasterI ski mine all the time, they're cool.

Are they rather light or heavy? And on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the stiffest, how flexibl?are are they? I found a pair for a good deal and im debating between those and the Line Tigersnake.

Just bought a pair, only 1 full day skiing on them (Killington, VT). Id say stiffness would be a 6-7. Still have some nice flex but they were great on the hard pack groomers too. I wanted an all-mountain ski for both east and west coast and the Kartels are amazing. Very happy with them.

^^ I've never skied the tiger snake but id imagine the cartels are stiffer. They aren't 2x4s but they're moderatley stiff with a good amount of pop in them. Soft enough with rocker to have fun at slow speeds jibbing around, but also stiff enough that they don't fold when you are just ripping groomers. I ride 186's and compared to other skis I've had with similar durability id say they're pretty middle ground as far as weight.

They are like a 7 or 8. But the skis are super poppy and playful and are incredibly durable as ON3P uses the thickest bases and widest edges on the market.

the 98s are awesome. i'm 5'8 but got a pair of 176s. didn't feel too long, much more stable than my Line Blends, good float in the pow, super responsive and carves like a bomber. skiied hard for 5 days and no cosmetic damage (didn't do any rails though but i reckon they wouldn't be a problem). in short, the hype is real and these skis are awesome. didn't really feel a big weight difference when i skiied, though they were heavier than my previous set up (mounted the Kartels with look pivot 12s vs my Blends with sth12s)
