then why do you have TMs in that list? and above fujis? they are kinda a wierd ski, and ski way stiffer than they flex. just look at a side view of the ski, a core profile will show you it's teierd(sp?), i've owned both TMs and fujis, and the fujis are so much softer, it's not even funny, there's a reason why they are shot skis now (they snapped) while im still riding my TMs. and the tips aren't even that sof, and the middle is pretty stiff, not as easy to butter as you'd expect.
