**Dokken** · 08-20-2006, 08:41 PM

anybody know if this years LP's have the same construction (and ski the same) as last year's? I like the old topsheet better but i can get the new ones damn cheap so...

same ski?

Same ski, though there is a new version being offered as well being the legend pro xxl. The regular version (97mm) is the same ski as old. The XXL at 109mm is rumored to be softer though I've never skied it personally (so I have no idea what it is really like)

According to a rep I talked to the XXL is the same construction except the wood core was thinned a bit at the tips and tails - so it should be a tad softer.

i skied the xxl and it was too stiff for me ... however i only weight about 65 Kilos what means, a ski like the legend xxl can never become a friend of mine. The arno adam (193, similar stiffness as the legend) is my touring ski and i love it, but it shoulnd be wider, its just too stiff for me if it was wider. I didnt feel a difference between the stiffness of the pro and the xxl.

I was going to get the XXL, but it's too soft for me.

Pro's ski super smooth and damp, not punishing at all!
Yes I believe the reg/Lps are the same as years past minus the top sheet.

The 186 Intuitiv Big Pro Rider is the same ski as the 186 LP, only the 194 was skinny. Is this the place? Seems like a good deal and you get a much better looking ski.
