Pistols or Made'ns?

I can get either, made'ns for a bit more expensive though. maybe $100 more when both are with bindings. Which should I go for? These are not going to be used in the park much at all, except jumps once in a while.
I'd be skiing alot of BC stuff, and bc booters and powder and groomed/crud stuff.
Are the made'ns extra 13 mm worth it? also the softer flex?

Haha. I'm leaning towards the Made'ns alot more.
If I'm going to get a fat ski, I might as well get the fatter of the two skis.
I already have good all mountain skis.

Made'ns fo shure. Skis are the only thing you want fatter in. Skinnier is what you're looking for in girls.

made'ns are definitely softer, but still able to carve well on groom. the pistols will be better in crud and ice, but neither ski is ideal for those types of conditions.

the pe's are noticeable stiffer than the pistols, but the vicious is supposedly stiffer in the tail, which will make it a bit more stable than the pistols already were.

overall, both are great skis, but if you want a fat ski, why not go bigger??

I'm sure you'll be happy with either one, I'd get Made'ns if I was going to be doing alot of pow though.
