the thugs are big skis that make you feel like you're charging all them time. kinda light, but only perform best when there's 8" + of new snow... this is based off of a few runs on a friends pair and a convo about them w/ him

LL2s are more of an all mountain pow ski... the skinnier waist and the rocker make for better performance. softer than the thug but not that soft. I'd call them poppy. since they are rockered they float in 99.9% of pow conditions. I own these, but I've recently gotten them and only have 4 days on them.

i would go LL2 for sure... my impression of the thugs was they were really dead and mostly just wanted to go straight! not nearly as playfull as the Live Life's

exactly. Killer for big open pow turns, but who needs a ski that specific with the amount of choices you have available?
