i was just thinking if you were on stiffer skis would you be able to get better height while ollieing because the pressure would be greater on stiffer skis? or do i have it all wrong? thanks

if youre strong enough, a stiffer ski will give you more ollie power

if its too stiff your not going to beable to load up energy on the tail to ollie... if to its too soft might not have the force to push your ollie. i would say it needs to be a blance, but that all depends on your weight and the type of ski your using
