Ok which would you choose, I am 5'7' about 175lb, very aggressive, 50% park 50% backcountry. I will be getting a fat twin though too. The only two options are: 03' 172 Mad Trix (with out binding system) or 03' 177 1260 ? I don't care about warrenty's or customer service, I just am wondering which is the better ski. Thanks

maybe its me, but both the mad trix and 1260 arent very backcountry oriented, seems wierd to buy those for 50% backcountry

Hey if your getting a fat twin too why would you do 50% backcountry with the 1260 or mad trix? That doesn't make sence. If you can get 2 twins get a fat 'backcountry twin tip' for the good snow days. And a pure park ski for the terrian park/.

Cause some of my friends don't care for the pipe and so I will go play and then go out with them and hike. So I don't alway have my Fats with me. So I want to be able to take them everywhere if I wanted too.

Look into the new Dynastar 'Little Big Fat'. It's a fat twin-tip, and from what I heard it rules in the back country and holds it's own in the pipe. Plus since it made by Dyanstar it will hold up realy well.
