Skogens or Mike Nicks?

Okay, I've read countless reviews and facts and crap about the Line 02-03 Skogens and Mike Nick pros. However, I can't friggin pick which one! Sadly, i can't demo them unless i feel driving quite far (which is becoming likely with every passing day). So what i really want to know, is which one is better for mountain runs, like crappy New England groomed shista. I've heard that the skogens are choppy, but then i've heard that the Mike Nicks are a little too stiff! I'M SO DAMN CONFUSED! Any input is good input!

they are the same ski. so if you want a 171 get the mike nick, if you want a 176, get the skog's.

skogens are mounted closer to the center than the M.N's. the skogens are wider and the graphic would get old after a wile

No they are the same width. But they are mounted closer to center.

I've been skiing the Mike Nick most of this season in the east and I love them, I came off a 1080 and although I love the 1080, I prefer the Nick

yeah I have original skogens and I need new park skis, I'd like to keep supporting Line but I don't like the graphics on the new skogens and they aren't changing them next year. Ah well, make way for troublemakers or PE's then.
