GS skies are best left alone until you've mastered the Essentials.
Yes, I think so too.

It has a soft tip and bends easily at slow speeds and easily makes quick carved turns as long as you tip and use foot pull back. I took the plates off too which really helped. It did take a few days to get used to them and they do want to run but they have forced me to use PMTS essentials even more compared to the GS cheater skis I had before. I do the TFR and OFR drills all the time which has really helped in the moguls.

Max_501 wrote:Turn initiation is from tipping and balance during the high C, long before the ski is pressured. Therefore the ski's stiffness doesn't matter much, if at all, during initiation. OTOH, when it comes to reducing the arc the ski's flex becomes very important.
