If you don't weigh much you need a lot of force to bend a stiff ski..I know guitar who's like 150-160 pounds said mantras are too stiff for him. Expand 6 foot 165 lbs. So I probably don't want a ski that's too stiff...??? Quote

Also, how bad are you boots? Boots are far more important than skis. Expand Yeah salty what's the stiffness of your boots?? I remember Enjorales was saying his old boots were like a 70 stiffness which is like a slipper. I like around 110. I've been on as stiff as 130s and as soft as 90s Quote

Expand You don't weigh enough and you're not aggressive enough. You need to be able arc turns (and not pocono shuffle) first. Metal in skis will just make it tougher for you. 1 Quote
