Infamous VS Halo 2 VS Filthy Rich

Aight..

So outa all three of these skis, which will be the must buttery,poppy,durable, lightweight, and have the best sidewall construction.

Btw.. I'm 5'5 if that matters and weigh 115
 
I have heard that on3p makes the most durable skis out there, so the filthy riches might be the best in terms of durability. I personally have never owned them, but they are quite known on newschoolers for their build quality
 
I have the Blue Steele's which are the first model but simply renamed to Filthy Rich (no change in specs). They are built really well. I've had them for about 3 years and they only have slight topsheet chipping, nothing, and I mean nothing else is wrong with them. Other than the shitty bindings I bought for them, STH 16's, they are perfect. You'll love the rocker as well.
 
Are you still growing? The on3p are a bit on the pricy side if you are going to out grow them in a year and a half but the resale on them is sooooo damn high. The filthy rich will be the heaviest out of all the options but that's the trade off for durability.

The only reason you should consider the infamous is that if you are still growing you (or whoever is buying them) won't take too bad of a hit when you out grow them. I have heard multiple people snapping them and delaming them but they ski pretty good. Buttery, poppy, and just supportive enough.
 
I have owned both filthy rich's and infamous's. Bkth ski similarly, both are incredibly light. Both are symmetrical, and have similar sidecuts and flex patterns (FR stiffer). The on3p's have a lot more rocker, making them a little less stable in ny opinion. The build quality is much higher on the FR's. The atomics do have a faster base though, sintered 7000 compared to the on3p's sintered 4001 (I believe). The FR will be more durable, but obviously costs a lot more. If you are growing, I suggest the infamous's because they are simply cheaper, but have the same characteristics of the on3p's. Hope this helps!
