Ok, I hate the threads about people asking what ski to get as the next guy, but I'm having a lot of trouble deciding between these skis. I mainly ski all mountain/powder, these skis won't see many rails. I'd like them to be i'm 6ft 170 lbs and ski hard. I

I'm also possibly considering the JP vs Julians, but probably not.

most of the suggestions you'll get will probably be with the mojo 90. great ski. and i haven't skied the JP/juliens but most people who own them will tell you that they aren't the greatest everyday ski.

Yeah, Mojos are the shit! I'm the same weight as you but a bunch shorter and I fuckin love my mojos, although I have plenty of buddies who ride/have ridden the Scratch BCs and loved em...

Dude your all over the place..mojo 90s and jp vs juliens are totally different. I dont think you'll go wrong with the Mojos or Scratch BC. The question is do you want better all mountain performance or better powder performace?Do you want a stiffer mid-fat ski or a softer fat ski?Either way both choices are great

^I want a good all-around ski. Which basically rules out the jp v julian's.

both are good options, the scratch BC is wider, heavier, and stiffer, so itl plow through pow and chop good, but will be a little unwieldy on a groomer in the the trees. the mojo 90 is much lighter and snappier, with a ride similar to the pocket rocket/gun. theyll (mojo90) be a better choice for the whole mountain, while the BCs will be much better in the deep stuff.

The BCs stiffer than the mojo? I thought it was the other way around.

The BCs are 98 in the waist and the mojos are 90... you can probably make a decision because of that based on how often you ski pow.

I have Mojo's as my everyday ski, they kick ass. It's the best all-mountain ski I've ever ridden besides the iM103, which you really can't compete with at all. They won't have as good of float as the BC's will, but they definitely work, I took mine into the backcountry yesterday and they worked great. If you ski somewhere that gets over 400 inches a year, go with the BC's, otherwise just go with the Heads.

i hate te mojos, they feel like planks, stiff and not very lively, while i love the scratch bc. i'd definitely go with the bc, cheaper, also check out the seths and motherships.

too soft for this big of a guy. if your big and strong and ski agressivly, check out the ANT. also, the Head 103 as another person said earlier. if your 6 foot or over, look for a bigger ski. buuuuuut, the 185 BC would be kicktastic all mountain ski, and the 190 Mojo 90, actually i forgot they made a 190, thatd be siick for an all mountain ripper. sick, im glad i thought of that length, now im happy.
