the labs are basically the same ski, but a little narrower at the waist i believe and the sidecut is a little farther back to prevent hooking up on landings

I heard something about the tails of the LAB being stiffer? Not true?

dude labs are suppose to be all mountain/big mountain freestyle while the 1080 series are supposed to be park/pipe/all mountain twins teneighties are lighter poppier, while labs are stiffer and a lil heavier good for bc booters

^ you sir, are misinformed. the cr lab is basically a pipe ski. it is stiffer than the regular 1080. next year's spk is basically the cr lab from this year, and the thruster is the 1080 from years past. learn your stuff before calling other people out.
