Was thinking about picking up a pair of Icelantic Pioneer 109s this summer, but haven't seen much written about them on the forums. It looks like they stiffened it up from last year to this (according to the stiffness scale on their site), and my understanding of last year's model was that it was soft, so this should be "fixed".

I'm also debating the Liberty Variant, but am drawn to the slightly smaller radius of the Icelantic. To anyone who's ridden either of these skis, I would appreciate any input you can provide.
