they're super skinny and playful. Wouldn't consider them soft until you ride them for awhile, more or less just a really fun ski that has great pop. Had issues with my last pair holding up but they hooked it up with a warranty, and my new pair has been fine. Can't say any bad things about a company that takes care of their customers. It's not a ski you'll want to be riding all mountain all the time, but for park laps they're great skis
