    Sugar Daddy and Pimp

    I demoed the Sugar and liked it alot. It is very straight, light, and the stiff tail gives it some power on harder surfaces.

    Is the Pimp the same exact ski with a twin, or is the tail somewhat softer for switch action?

    I think it is 193 (sugar 183) twinned, and a bit fatter? like a big and sugar mix?

    not 100% sure

    Pimps are the way to go for all mtn jibbing. I'm totally stoked on mine. I don't think the tail is any softer. The PD's seem stiffer overall than SD's.
    The PD seems like the PR of my dreams, stiffer and longer & faster.

    I swapped Bros with Pimps with a buddy for a few runs last year.
    They skiied very similarly.
    The Pimp felt like the tail engaged a bit more. It also had this wierd high frequency sound emanating from the tip. The Bro was quieter and more damp.
    Both are very nice skis for my style. YMMV

    There should be a load of info on this here; tried searching? I recall writing quite a bit about the pimp last year, it should still be there.
    self unemployed?

    I'm assuming that's the stiff bros?
