    YLE for stomping stuff, CRJ for having a really good time. Either one will be great.

    Hi,

    I skied both for a few days at Baker (187cm YLE and my kids 180cm CRJ) this past season. Me 175lbs. They seem to always be on sale (YLEs I paid $350, CRJs $300 for new). I ended up selling both as I skied 185cm Helldorados inbounds mostly last season.

    IMO YLE is a better all around ski, like a Line Opus, playful but still pretty good on groomers. The CRJ was really fun, but just OK on harder snow. I like the YLE much better when not deep, maybe cause the CRJ felt short when maching. CRJs were mounted at - 5, YLEs at -3.

    Either one is fine, I have 188 CRJ w/ Dynafit. I like them, nice & lightweight. CRJ is so-so on harder snow, but I don't use them inbounds all that much. YLE would be a better option for both if you are looking for that.
    Always charging it in honor of Flyin' Ryan Hawks.

    You gotta go 188 on the CRJ if you are a big or fast skier.
