I can’t find much info on Sights? They are marketed as a stiff ski, but I have also heard that they are surprisingly soft. Does anybody know how they compare to Poachers, for example?

I'm fairly sure they are softer then poachers. Ive looked at and heard of them and they kinda seem like a very baseline park ski

Yeah I just purchased some this winter. Shop tech told me they would be softer than poachers but still have a good amount of pop. Haven’t used them a lot but enjoyed them so far.

I used them in the 179 most of last season. At 84kg they were a little on the soft side but still no noodle and definitely give enough support for bigger landings. I haven't skied the poachers but always assumed they'd be a bit stiffer.

I had them last year and they were super stiff, like it felt like what I would imagine a comp/pipe ski would feel like

The sight is rad, for sure softer than the poachers. It's a pretty traditional park ski (camber shape/side cut/ turning radius) but it's a charger. Im not huge and I found that the poacher was hard for me to get super playful with, granted the rocker helps out for sure, but I found I really felt like I was in the drivers seat with the sight.
