So i'm looking for new skis but i dont have a clue what to buy. A want a very durable ski cuz i do a lot of rails and that will be versatile all-mountain. Any suggestions??? (05-06 models)

i believe scratches are one of the lightest skis. I also believe that pes are heavier. The fujis will do well all mt but not as good as your scratches

the foil is quite durable but it depends if you'll be riding some mountain because it is fairly wide and a little stiff but overall still a rather soft ski.

so i've narrowed it down to the foils, chronics, pe's and maybe the fujis
but i want to experiment with something else than rossi so i wont get the scratchs again...by the way, I ski about 80% in the park so i want DURABILITY
