Flex

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Flex is the amount of bending resistance a ski has. There are skis with "soft-flex" which are easier to control and use on powder or deep snow, or "stiff-flex" which are best to use at high speeds or in harder snow conditions.

Flex can be refer to the entire ski or specific parts like the tail or tip of the ski.
