What i want to know is how they compair. Which it more agressive (the stifest and most nimble)? Which is most durable? The only real reason i looked in to the Hippy Stix was to be a little different they look noce and have simalar dimentions to the others i've looked at. What are your opions? Cheer, Nick.

hippy stix are same as pistols but diff topsheet. And its a tele ski. I'd go for a seth vicious, great all around ski.

none are stiff but the vicious will be the stiffest out of them and good if you ski hard.

if you want something stiffer, check out the rossi scratch bc's. the new ones have somewhat similar dimensions to the vicious', but are stiffer. a great all around ski.

just the msp is stiffer, the gottamas are probably the best if you want a stiffer ski than those.

yes
If i was you i'd be looking at the Volkl Gotama or K2 Seth Vicious. But the gotama will be better for what you have described. Its stiffer than the vicious a tad fatter and great for charging big mtn lines and going fast.

The ANT i think may be a bit of an oer kill, what about the JP. vs. Juilen? I dont like how the godamas ski they feel kinda dead like no sidcut and not nimble enough. Is the JP. v. Juilen stiffer than the Vicious? Im a bot undecide on Rossi and that why i didn't really look at them. Would the JP. ve. Juilen be a go sk or a great sk for the steep lines Pow and Cliffs? Cheers, Nick

Well if you dont like skis that feel dead definately stay away from the PE. The Jp vs Julien is softer than the vicious. To me it sounds like a Vicious is what your after.

If you want mad stiffness, and uber steeziness, go with the Mojo 90

They felt kind of dead when i rode them yes. Not sure if it was the ski or heavy binding but i know there were alot of other all mtn skis that had the same bindings and felt alot more alive. I dont dislike them but i think if your looking at that sort of ski theres some better options.

No,i think that Godamas feel dead but i spoke to my mate who owned the Godamas only to find out that he was pretty sure they have a bent tail. So i take back what i said about the Godamas ill have to give my opinion on them after i've skied a good pair. Werd
