ok, I know I've posted a lot of post on wich skis to get and I've gotten' lots of help and I appreciate. well this is gonna be my first pare of twins and I wanna get really good ones that will last and be good for me! I haven't really been able to narrow it down very well, I have some faves but its still hard. But I guess all the ones Im considering are the Mad trix, Scratch, 1080, 1260, all 2003 gear. Well I want the ski to be really good in the park but be able to take 80 days of skiing. I think skis for me last longer then they do for most ppl cuz I weight a mere 120. So please help me with some really good advice.

The Mad trix system is fairly heavy, so I wouldn't advise them. any of the others should be fine. I think. I havn't skied any of the 2003 skis, so take my advise for what its worth

i'd either go with a scratch bc or 1080, i'd personally get teh 1080 cause the scratches will brake within a season and almost everybody on here that has talked shit about the new 10's havent ridden tehm. everyone that i know whos ridden them has loved them. from your other posts a gather that you need a twin to be both a pow ski and a park ski. i think the 1080 would be the best ski for you. but thats just my opinion

dude go with the mad trix. salomon has to many rpoblems in there history. All there stuff got booed by ski reports. LINE is another worthy company. maybe the 1260, but you could only ride park. You might also want to go with the concepts. You can't go wrong with that ski. Especially if you live in the east. If you live in the west, it is a sick park ski, and pretty good all mountain. I have the candides and they are excellent everywhere. But another good ski for all mountain is the little big fat. pretty beefy but it does it all. Dynastar is the best company right now. Well Rossi, and Head are awesome as well. But the Concepts are amazing, you won't go wrong with those. and the warranty on them is sweet. I cracked the top sheet of my candides, didn't even ask questions just gave me a new pair.

1080 will be the best out of the choices, also the concept would be a good bet, also the possibly the motherships

dont listen to that silly Andy Mahre. He'll take advantage of any opportunity to shamlessly promote one of his sponsor's product.

You'd never see me do that, no no
