Anyone ski them before - How are the Somas? I see a lot about the Prodigy and Cand. 2.0 but not much on the other skis in the lineup. The rocker seems pretty dramatic, do they chatter on groomers?

all I can say is I rate their customer services so highly. My 1.0s started to delam slightly and they were so quick to sort me out with some new skis, for free.
I also asked if I could get a pair of 2.0s instead, they did this no problem and they are even the new seasons ski as last years were out of stock

The rocker isn't super dramatic if you compare it to other models from other companies imo. Never ridden them but they look fun

Yea I'm interested in last year's Soma for an all mountain ski since it is pretty cheap now but I cant really find any reviews.

I switched from the k2 sight to the Faction Kennedys this year and they are fucking dope!
Super light, it seems that the top sheet de-lams pretty quick and they are definitely a softer ski. I love them though!
