I'd like to ask you guys a question: for what purpose is a ski soft in the tails but stiff in the tips? I've got one of those...
Thanks!

Does it have good amount of rocker/early rise in the shovel and is it a powder ski? I've noticed this on several skis.

Re: Stiff and soft ski?
Nope... It's a touring ski! An old Tua Montour that I brought back to life... It probably makes it (soft tail) more manœuvrable in all kinds of condition (woods, bump, etc). But why a stiff shovel then?Woodserson wrote:Does it have good amount of rocker/early rise in the shovel and is it a powder ski? I've noticed this on several skis.
