thanks to NS i've sorted out why i want either the new foils or the new scratch wrs fs.
the final factor in my own debating mind is,
which ski has a burlier tail?
because i like to ski backwards.
a lot.  even in pow.  it would really help me out if someone could clue me in as to whether there is a height difference between the tails of the fs or the foils, or which is better for shreddin' switch. thanks

WRS stands for weight reduction system.  The ski i'm talking about is the scratch with the burn mark on it.

there probably the same if not close to being the same, the only difference I know of is the foil has a slightly fatter tail.

i hate salomons, but they do have alot of sidecut, and that makes switch riding easier
