Hey guys, Im looking for your help once again... I was hoping youd give me your opinion on which ski would better suit me the 171 or 181 mad trix or 181 tweaks. Im 6'0, 160 lbs., Im an advanced skier but a beginner in the park. Im looking for a ski that would be used for about 60% all-mountain(mostly moguls and glades) and 40% park(for now anyways). I live on the east coast and often have to deal with ice. All help gets my immediate kudos.

Where are you mounting your skis, having that much tail on moguls can be hell

6 ft and 160lbs. doesnt sound like you are a really chargiing skier, no offense though. I'd go with the tweaks cause the madtrix's are really stiff and take some power to manhandle

The tweaks are SUPERlite. So throwing tricks will be easier compared to the Mad Trix, which are probably the heaviest twins on the market other than the Nordicas.
The Heads are super solid skis though, demoed a pair of Mojo 90's up at Schweitzer and they're STIFF and HEAVY... much more so than even my Karmas.

181 Mad Trix, you won't regret it. It's a lot more stable ski and will handle the mountain a lot better than the Atomics will. If you want some floppy noodles, go with the tweaks.
