definitely one of the top 3.

But since you requested no bigger than 92 underfoot....I have no idea.

Post Whore

I got $5* that no one here will name any of the top 3 stiffest skis** for the 09.10 season in this thread.

I will check when I get back in a few hours. If I know you personally you are excluded from this offer

*this is my discretion, I may paypal you $5 I may not. If I don't like you I probably won't,

* I may just mail you $5 of monopoly money.

**Customs are excluded, must be relatively known brand, aka I have heard of it.

** Team only skis or similar don't count.

** Must actually be available to purchase by more than one person.

** If a satanic ritual is a required part of production the ski does not count.

Good luck.

**raceroom skis are exempt (not that any I know of come close)

And NPG the production Big Dump is softer then most of the ones that were around last winter/spring.

for clarification - are you talking ALL skis or just freeride-oriented skis?

obviously, the stiffest skis will be an sg or dh race ski, i don't think anyone gives a shit about those. for freeride, it's probably the head richie or joe. in a narrower waist, i wouldn't be surprised if it were another head ski.

Yeah, I only pay attention to skis over 100 in the waist. With that said, is the Head Supermojo as stupid stiff as the old 103? And I imagine the Blizzard Kreitler or Titan (or whatever it's called) would also be at the top of this list.

i dont know what the stiffest are, but i can tell you some stiff skis:
völkl wall
atomic punx
head J.O
K2 extreme
faction skis tend to be quite stiff
oh and the völkl karma (an old freeski from völkl) which i still own a pair is ultra stiff, i can barely bend it an inch or two.

for more pow orientated skis
völkl kuro and katana
the bentchetler is rather stiff, but too wide under foot.
the prophet 90 + 100 are rather stiff.
on3p great scott but too wide under foot

just go to shop and theyll tell you which too choose

hm yea those are the ones that come to my head. ofcourse there are more.
but youll not need the stiffest anyways, i think theres not such a big difference between a pretty hard ski and an extremely hard ski. you wont butter on either.

Lib Tech makes good super stiff park/all mountain skis. They are really light and hold an edge amazingly because of the magne traction. There's only one down side to Lib Techs.....for some reason they make their tips super low and it just looks straight retarded.

Kingswoods would definately be a good choice for a stiff ski, their model the Skinny is 92 underfoot I believe.

also, from experience of demoing them, the Volkl Wall is soft as fuck in the tail and the Atomic Punx are a medium flex similar to AR6, but the Punx have the best edge hold of any twin i've skied

Not surprised but the stiffest skis for 2009/2010 are in order from stiffest to softest:

1. K2 Luv bug

2. K2 Indy (really same stiffness as Luv bug)

3. Small size of K2 Bad Seed

Those are stiffer than any other ski out there. They don't flex.
