Yeesh, Madens are really not all mountain skis unless you are like 6'4 and 200 lbs. They are super burly, like steering a cadillac around on groomers. The Maden is really only a powder ski for most people.

If you want all mountian, go for Vicious's or Armada ARV's.

my MSP's arent too bad for park skiing. and i would say they are a medium flex and can almost hold there own at big mtn skiing.

^hmmm that's my experience with those skis, they were too soft for me and I'm not a big guy, seth's would be sick but also check out the foils or guns, possibly karmas

Seth,s Mojo 90, ARV, Chronic Blend. Stay away from Big Troubles if you're going to be riding much park on them - one of mine delammed on my first day hitting big kickers and Dynastar wouldn't warranty it.

now you and me both know that that is malarky. some skis are obviously better for rails then others. the t-halls for one with rounded edges. my libertys aswell slide rails very well aswell. but other skis u have to file down to get a smooth ride. now being some one who has demoed this model ski, i am not pulling this out of my ass, personally i think they are not as good on rails as say the invader.

made'ns are sick for park. they turn on a dime on groomers. whoever said they are burly skis for linebacker types obviously hasn't skied them. they're super soft and very user friendly. if you like a softer ski, you'll love these for everything: pow, park, groomers, etc... if you like a stiffer ski, go with something like the MSP of the seth vicious. i really like the MSP. super solid feel.

Um, you do realize that you can round the edge of any ski on the market, even racing skis (wow, believe it or not!) in like 5 minutes...

it's marketing, and sorta dumb.
